xacs: I checked the Scott Catalogue, and there is definitely an imperf Napoleon III issue like this, French Colonies, Sc7. As the CV is much less than that for one of the Rothschild Re-Issues, it is highly probable that you are right about this. Thanks again for reminding me about these French Colonies imperfs.
John (greaden): Can you tell from looking at the earlier post if the stamp in question has a French Colonies cancel on it? As I think more about this, I recall that the dealer in Aix used to tell me that it was often possible to tell a French Colonies from France issue by looking at the cancel.
Looking forward to further comments. Thanks, all!
