Rep Portugyasa-Azores - Your Help

Here is the only one I could not decipher (Scott cat #)in Azores - your help appreciated as always

Looks to me like Scott Azores 255, which is Portugal 370 with a red overprint. Scott italicizes the value for used condition, suggesting that there may be fake cancellations floating around. I don't know nearly enough to have an opinion on yours.

Thanks Seigaku....my software has no Image of the stamp but description sure is compatible.

Hi, Renden--
I am using a 20-year-old black and white Scott Catalog. The image number (without the overprint) was Portugal A77, which I hope hasn't changed, though it is probably now in color and better quality. You may be able to find an up to date Scott catalog at your local library.

I am using 2009 Scott Internation, Volume 1 - no image there also. I shall peek in Michel later on.

René

Volume 1 suggests that you are looking under Azores. The image is shown in a different volume, under Portugal, if that helps. It should also appear in the Classic 1840-1940 catalog. I can send a scan of black and white A77 if that would help, but it is pretty awful in the original! However, I do think it is recognizable.

Very grateful for your help but I can go to Portugal with Scott and even Michel which I have not yet and the image is the stamp itself.....I will scan (already done for the Forum) it and send to my software guru since he does not have it....he will be happy as usual !!

Good afternoon,

Açores Mundifil / 2018 - 237 (Portuguese)
Azores Scott / Vol. 2, 1996 - 255 (English)

They were used on Azores islands on 26, 27 and 28 Mars 1925 (1) and also from 1934 to 1945 (2) in Portugal (Continental territory).

The visible shape of the postmark is known in 1934-45 years.
There's out there CTO stamps because they were also available, in those past days, for philatelic purposes.

Sources (Portuguese language)
(1) - Decreto 10615 of 12 mars 1925 (Decree)
(2) - Portaria 11036 of 27 July 1945 (Ordinance)

Thanks card....everything is A1
