Here is an interesting cancel (or is it an overprint?) on Colombia Scott 570.  Has anybody seen something like this before? I'm stumped, although, it looks to me like some sort of cancel to devalue (nullify) the stamp. Any comments are welcome. Robert |

It could be "anulado". There is a spot of ink that could be part of the left foot of an "A" after the "L". I'll go with that.
Thanks KGB and jorgesurcl.

Now that I know what to look for, I found an image of a couple of stamps with a similar cancellation.  Robert |

Hi
Without doing a search for any city/town in Colombia whose name contains NUL I would probably go with "anulado". I do not think the Spanish word nulo (null) because, as Trainwreck observed, the ink spot to the right of the L doesn't look like part of an O.
A cursory search for stamps overprinted Anulado did not reveal anything decisive.

Hi Rodney All true but from http://saaphilnet.com/ Quote:
1939-55. Group of six stamps used by red, violet or black straight line cancels including "6912", "ANULADO", "REBUT", "ADMINSTRACION" & "SERVICIO DEL ESTADO". Ave to FINE, VERY FINE.
1910. RAILROAD cancel. Scott 333 used by choice violet "SERVICIO POSTAL FERREO ANULADA" cancel. VERY FINE & rare. Therefore, since the whole stamp is not present it could be either Anulado or Anulada as the "ink spot" looks like part of an A. Jerry B |

Also found as perfins...   The cancels and perfins for the most part are common. |

Stamps with the ANULADO cancel or perfin: Are we looking at postal usage or revenue usage, or, perhaps, telegrams? Those stamps depicted with the ANULADO perfin seem to be on documents, rather than envelopes.
Thanks, Robert |
