In the Scott catalog, France 475,476,476A...476G(9Oct1944). You are missing the 10 franc stamp (#476H), which unfortunately is the main premium item in the set. The stamps were printed by US BEP and transferred to the Free French for distribution/use.

Thank you so much! I probably spent so much time looking in BoB that I missed the obvious in the 'normal' part.

The design certainly is typical of a French BoB, so if I didn't know, I likely would have started looking through BoB first too!

What I collect: If I have a catalogue for it, I collect it. And I have many catalogues ....

In the 2008 Scott, these stamps are Back of the Book issues, listed with the occupation stamps - "Issued Jointly by the Allied Military Government of the United States and Great Britain, for Civilian Use", #2N1-2N9 shown above. I hadn't realized they were moved to the regular issue section. I wonder what other surprises are in store for me once I upgrade my catalogues .... Ryan |

They actually moved them over from BoB to the main listings in 2009.
For your info, they also moved 2N11-2N20 to 523A-523J.
I wish Scott would maintain a list of all the number changes over the years. I've gotten in a habit now of making a copy of each NADC page to keep as reference, but I didn't do that for my older catalogs (and I don't get a new catalog every year).
