Hello,

So I'm guessing on the forum to put this in because I don't know the year. I did actually google and ebay this one first. Where I found that there is another FB cancel, it was not the same stamp and the lister (selling to experts) did not list what it meant.

So, please assist.

THANKS

It's a stamp from Great Britain, not France.

I went from the France stamps to the GB stamps so pardon my typo. Still curious to know the year and what that cancel mean. The stamp says "postage and revenue," which one is it?

I'm sure it's a good question. I'm just not sure the US Classics forum is the best place for it. Did you try one of the "world" stamp collecting forums here, in the general discussion section? You'll probably have better luck there.

So you can't move a topic and I can't figure out how to delete it. Sorry guys, I was looking at the years and not the nations

Heidivee, it is both postage and revenue. These stamps could be used for either. Your sample looks like it was postally used; it has a cancel. Most revenue stamps would have been cancelled with a signature and / or date.
