Channel Island bisect.
This was offerred as an occupation cover.
Apparently the zero [0] in the date plug, was altered to half so as to indicate a bent "1", making the date 1941. The Channel islands were occupied from June 1940. Can anyone substatiate that claim? http://cjoint.com/data/lpk2mvfBPN.htm comments welcomed. Thanks |

Oops, pulled trigger before thinking.
The stamp was issued 6th May 1940 hence it has to be 1941. "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote in message ... This was offerred as an occupation cover.

Thanks Rodney--here is a link to the image of part of the Gurensey listing in the Michel Specialized 1849-April 1945 edition of 2003: http://cjoint.com/?lpoAzkPKwu It shows the 2 pence bisect, but with a single-circle CDS rather than the double-circle one of your image. Someone who knows German, or more about English and Channel Islands postmarks may be able to use the Michel info to help further. I do know enough Michel German to recognize the "fakes known" icon at the lower left. Stan |

Hi
There is more to it than just the 0 being changed to a 1. Look at the whole canceland compare it to a circle which it ought to be.

Thanks Hello Rodney Those Stamps, were in use from december the 27th 1940. This one is very fishy and I won't bet a single pence on it beeing genuin. The cancel does not fit. Peter -- |

Thank you Stan, Richard, Peter. I have no doubt it is engineered to a certain degree, It is an empty cover posted within Guernsey philatellically inspired by a collector I should think. I am not so hasty to condemn it however. I think the cancellation is refrerred to as a "ring and arc" CDS and they DO exist http://cjoint.com/data/lqcc3xvayf.htm http://www.angelfire.com/ok2/allswell/bisect.html but the comments on the altered zero sic "split zero" has aroused my curiosity, That info must have come from somewhere, surely not fanciful fiction. I am sticking it in the "too hard" bin at the moment. SG Brit Comm, and "collect channel Island Stamps" would tend to confirm your appraisals however "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote in message ...

"rodney" I think the cancellation is refrerred to as a "ring and arc" CDS and they DO exist http://cjoint.com/data/lqcc3xvayf.htm Correction. Part of a machine "wavy line" cancellation. |

Hi Rodney,
This is genuine. The single ring CDS was mostly applied at post office counters so you can regard it as (probably) a philatelic cover or 'Cancelled by Favour' If it had passed through the mail properly it would have received a double ring CDS or a wavy line. Here in the U.K. these covers sell for anything between £10.00 and £15.00. Bob "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote in message ...

Thank you, Bob. that was my line of thinking, (albeit I assumed a misplaced wavy line cancel) Why I kept the faith was based on the handwriting on the auction tag, I recognised it as possible one of the local and reliable Perth stamp dealers, nothing else "Bob Harper" Hi Rodney, This is genuine.

You will find that most of the "Occupation" period stamps and covers
were philatellically inspired even where not contrived.There were a number of active collectors who opportunistically ( is that a real word ?) took advantage of the situation. They were obviously confident of ultimate liberation, and were making some sort of provision for the future - and after all what else was there to do in that situation, once the not inconsiderable problems of sufficient basic necessities of life had been overcome? Red Cross deportee mail, and official correspondence is obviously an exception to the caveat above. This is not to denigrate the genuineness of the material per se, but it does explain why such material is relatively much more common than the situation would normally be expected to generate. There used to be ( possibly still is ) a dealer in Jersey called the Channel Islands Stamp Company, whose regular catalogue contained pages and pages of this sort of stuff at quite modest prices ( unfortunately much beyond what I was prepared to pay, but nevertheless affordable had I chosen to collect it ! ), and that to me was a good indication of how easily obtainable such stuff was. Obviously 20 years or so on it will now be much scarcer as most will have disappeared into collections but there will no doubt be a steady stream of the items coming onto the market in the normal progression of events. I think that there will always be almost sufficient to meet most demand - at the right price - and anyone looking to make a quick buck will be disappointed. There MAY be the odd item lurking unrecognised in collections or attics or among personal papers, but I would not hold my breath - 90% of the material will be circulating between CI specialists ( and there are thousands of them which is why the items make more than their relative scarcity would indicate - demand does only slightly exceed supply ). Also knowledge ( despite this thread) even among generalists like me,particularly in the UK, is quite widespread, which means what material does surface almost always goes to the specialists in a very short time.

Another example is that of the London applied "Received From H.M. Ships." Double line legend beside single ring and lower arc throughout the 30's and into 40's.
