I know that there have been a few posted topics with reference to Belgium early Cancels. I have a question about the first image - What town is this from?





I have a few more of these cancelations

Unable to decipher the Pmk.

TERVUEREN, region : Vlaanderen.

Can you check the perforation? if P14 x 14 then it may be a forgery.
Good luck.

Bravo !

I know nothing about Tervueren / Tervuren? Rail Station, however, look at these images?

Thanks again, the images are great. My grandparents were from Belgium. The communities were Zarren and Handzame both in West Flanders. Have you ever seen cancels from either of them?

I have over 1000 Belgian Rail cancels, in a shoebox.
A distant colleague Mr. Tracy Barber was working on a catalogue of
rail networks and postmarks.
I was waiting for that, but we have lost contact.

I aim to work on them one day, but I think the pine box will beat me to that.

Yes, yes, leeb, I am still here! Working VERY HARD on the newer RR stamps. This is VERY tough! I have sorted 10s of 1,000s of stamps by depot name and have 5400 different chamfer depots only. That is massive and plenty more before I post a database. I have 3 full #10 envelopes to finish before I get to start on the database - first pass. It has taken many years to get this far.

If you're up to passing on yours, I'll take 'em!

More later... I'm working on them daily, spending about 3 - 4 hours a day on this. I want to get going on this.

Need permissions renewed or given to use certain things and I need to "type" the cancels. This is the hardest part and believe me, I may get up closer to 10,000 chamfer - not any other cancels - before finished.

I must be crazy...
