From American Philatelist March 1964. The article mentions that the battle of Ap Bac was a setback for the ARVN soliders with US advisers but the US touted it as a victory so obviously even in 1963 it was known otherwise.  |

Regarding the clipping, in the preceding post. This stamp made it on the cover of "LIFE" Magazine (US) February 1965.  |

Unknown HAIPHONG postmark:
All is well and symmetric. I believe the cancel reads HANOI A HAIPHONG ("A" accented), so likely it's a railroad cancel. |

UNKNOWN.For the record. Sc#222 1942 Marshall Petain 40c On Brownish-Pinkish Paper, with expertiser mark. Called it carton paper, for lack of a better description. Submitted to the webmaster at the expertisers link. (I could find no immediate reference to "icons" only names and countries.) ...or no "indochina" or "Vietnam" expertisers.  |

French Iconography on Indochina Issues. Vichy France uses the Francisca / Francesca in the mandrels of the PETAIN issues. Significance of the star is lost on me. The francisca, the Double Edged Axe, used as a (throwing) weapon by the Franks, Germanics, and Anglo Saxons.  |

Maury mentions printings on lower quality paper for the 1c and 3c, but not the 40c, and postal forgeries of the 6c and 40c, but only in used form. This could be a collector's mark on a toned stamp, of course. |

6 Grasset stamps were overprinted in 1912. There are varieties (greater distance between the digits of the overprint) The most valuable variety (unfortunately it is not expertlised - I believe it is original)   |
