This was mixed in with a pile of unsorted stamps of France. There is a "knife-edge"perf between the upper and lower stamp, and as the numbers match iJ 323295 I would imagine/suspect it was meant to (perhaps) be torn off as proof of payment (??). I found one semi-similar stamp on Hip Stamp, but different denomination. My Belgium references are currently not as deep as France and Great Britain so any information / insight would be greatly appreciated by what I assume to be the date Oct 31, 1930 {??) or mabe not {??}  |

Hi, Stan ( stainlessb): I agree with Michael ( Londonbus1), interesting stamp! Thanks for posting it. To me, the date seems to read 3AOU1930. Since the French word for August is août, I think we have a match. Can’t tell if there is another figure before the 3, but I don’t think so. So, I think you have 3rd August 1930 for the date. |

Nice stamp/fiscal 
If it was 3 august 1930, that was a Sunday. If it was 13 august 1930, that was a Wednesday.
If it was 23 august 1930, that was a Saturday.

hyphen roulette! I like it!! At first I though the stamp had been folded in half- it wasn't until the the scan that I noticed the "hyphen roulette" and realized it was intentional and the stamp must be intended to be split août = August (should the a be capitalized?) I've learned two new facts in one thread!!  a great day for the gray matter Thanks all |

Thanks for your response, Stan ( stainlessb)! Excellent question about the spelling.... months of the year are not normally capitalized in French, although they can appear in all capitals as in the cancellation. If René ( renden) or Xavier ( hrdoktorx) know better about the French, I am prepared to bow to superior knowledge! |

I agree with Chris Beryllium Guy - no Capital letters in french months names but Yes in English - René |

Another Tax Fiscal, but it has no roulette perf in the middle. I cannot find in COB The cancelation is extremely well centered (unusual) Oct 15, 1925, Aimont Brothers (?) to Liege (if I translate this correctly ..... plus it has the "pizza" cutter. Can anyone recommend a good reference on Belgium tax/fiscal stamps? I seem to be accumulating a few, and I find them interesting to boot! (a dangerous combination... yet another rabbit hole....)  |

As I have just received a large lot of these stamps, can anyone recommend a catalogue, specialized reference to hunt for? Thus far I am not find much. Language it was published in is not important (French/German)- I'd like to learn more about the specific situations these stamps were used in, are there variants, recognized shades, etc.
and obliterations- there seems much on GB and France, surely there are texts on Belgie/Belgique obliterations?
as always my thanks to the collective!

More tax stamps- In addition to these ( and many more dupes) I have even more top half or bottom half.... I'm "guessing" these may be of less importance/value/desirability...etc, but if not, what should I look for. These were grabbed more or less at random. With the 'whole" stamps, some have signatures, others look like stamps of someones name, and others look similar to railway cancelations I have been looking for a reference specific to Belgium fiscal/tax stamps, but thus far not much luck- anyone with wisdom, please elucidate, illuminate, and/or otherwise enlighten us (and me too!)    |

I got a reply from John Barefoot that there will be a new edition coming out late 2020 / early 2021. So for now it's finding copies on eBay or Amazon I think.

Yes, I purchased the one I found on e-Bay, Unless there are new revelations on the early issues, the upcoming issue may not be of much additional use (I only collect up to late 40's/early 50's)

Hi Stanley ( stainlessb) - the book doesn't list the cancel, but it does list the stamp:  I did some research and found this on Wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Bank:It is my opinion that the stamp was used as per the catalogue description, and that the Westminster and Parr International bank cancelled it at their Brussels branch as per the description above. Hope that helps! |

Quinttances, Tax on receipts 1920 ( 44 denominations) 1923 were perforated (and only 6 values) Note the vales to the left and right of the denomination- I take this to be the range to which the particular denomination applies, but the 10c, I have both 10 Fr to 500 Fr (same as the 5c) and also 100Fr to 500 Fr. Benelux Revenues does not mention this and only shows one 10c anyone know about this? (this may be enough of a mystery for me to join the Belgian Philatelic Study Circle)  |

Thanks, your newer version may have more info. I have a few of these, though not as many as the 100-500Fr
acquiring the entire series could be a challenge

yes, your version has much more information- the 10 -500Fr is an error NICE 7 imperfs and 2 rouletted, but most and all 5 of the perforated 10c are the errors Thanks!! |
