Questions on modern Chinese stamps

According to some Chinese websites, these numbers serve as an anti - fraud measure. Makes sense to me. Do you remember the addresses of the websites so that you could let me (us?) know? Thanks a lot! Jan-Martin PS: Does anybody know why sometimes Chinese stamps were cancelled in red? Unfortunately, the ones (Great Wall issue) I have are off-paper, thus I cannot say anything about the letters they were used on. I have heard of a red Amoy (treaty port ) cancel used on a Hong Kong stamp. (sorry no scan available) Blair |

Questions on modern Chinese stamps

Red cancellations These are not very common. Can you post a scan for us to see? I maybe able to read the postmark. I do have a postcard that I posted from Shigatse post office in Tibet which received a red wavy line machine cancellation. Other than that, airmail canchets are in red as well. Richard, unfortunately the cancellations are either wavy lines, or not legible (red postmarks on mostly red stamps do not show very well). All I can say is that the red postmarks must have been applied between 1999 and 2004 (between the issue date of the stamps and the time I got them from a colleague). I suppose the red ink could have been used instead of black on occasion of the 50th anniversary of PRC, or maybe of the turn of the millenium, but it would be nice to have some sort of confirmation. Thanks for your input so far! Jan-Martin |

Thanks for your input so far! Jan-Martin I've check my collection and come up with some more red cancels: All the cancels are machine wavy line cancellations 1. Dali, Yunnan province (Dec 2000) (I posted this card at Xiaguan post office, 30 minutes away from Dali) 2. Tongli, Jiangsu province (Mar 2005) 3. Shigatse, Tibet (July 2005) I posted many other cards from other locations in the vicinities of these post offices (yes, the above cards were all posted at post offices). With the exception of these three cards and one other card which had a postage meter mark (in red), the others received cancellations in black ink. Richard |
