Need Help Identifying...
Hi folks,
I've been sorting through stamps for DAYS now... it seems like a long time (considering I have shoeboxes left to sort through still.) I need some help with some very obvious identifications, at least it might seem obvious. I'm unsure, so any help would be appreciated. 1. Stamps that read "Nagaland", are they real? Is this like the stamps from Staffa, not official? Where is Nagaland. 2. Stamps that read "Briefpost" and above, "Zone Francaise". They look like the Republic Francaise stamps. Is this when Germany Occupied France? Anyone know around which years offhand? (I have a Scott catalog which covers Germany, thankfully... no questions about German identification. My partner and I are looking through them all trying to figure out which ones are Third Reich, Empire and Weimar Republic.) But I think Occupied France would not be with Germany, so we couldn't find this one in that section. 3. Stamps that read "Valencia", is that Spain, or an occupied territory? I found one of those while sorting. 4. "Afrique Occidentele Espanola", what's the official name in English? I'm sure I can think of more, but not right this minute. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sapphyre |

A very useful site for stamp identification is
http://www.glassinesurfer.com/stamp_identify/ From that I found: Briefpost - Germany, Under French occupation. I would guess that this would probably be around 1945 to 1949, as I am not aware of any other time when the French may have occupied Germany. Africa Occidentale Espanola - Spanish West Africa. There was no mention of Valencia.

Staffa is an island, if not mistaken. Nagaland - eek! 2. Stamps that read "Briefpost" and above, "Zone Francaise". They look like the Republic Francaise stamps. Is this when Germany Occupied France? Anyone know around which years offhand? (I have a Scott catalog which covers Germany, thankfully... no questions about German identification. My partner and I are looking through them all trying to figure out which ones are Third Reich, Empire and Weimar Republic.) But I think Occupied France would not be with Germany, so we couldn't find this one in that section. French Occupied Germany. The French Zone - yes, you got it! They can be found in the back of France in Scott catalogs. 3. Stamps that read "Valencia", is that Spain, or an occupied territory? I found one of those while sorting. These are usually charity labels for rebuilding things in Valencia, in Spain. They are included in the Edifil catalogs for Spain. 4. "Afrique Occidentele Espanola", what's the official name in English? Spanish West Africa. Afrique - Africa Occidentele - West Orientele - East Espanola - Spanish / Spain I'm sure I can think of more, but not right this minute. Any help would be appreciated. Not a problem-o... |

I found all kinds of overprints and other oddities. The list I could have asked about would have been endless if I remembered everything yesterday, but now I can look up a few words on a stamp and figure out what it is. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this! Sapphyre |
