(RCSD) Italy Postage Due question

(RCSD) Italy Postage Due question

This stamp appears to come from the Italian
postage due series of 1870-1925, however I
cannot find a 3 cent. value listed in Scott.

Could anyone please give me a pointer on
this stamp? Maybe it is in Sassone or
another specialized Italian catalogue.

Thanks

Blair

Hi Blair.

2, 3, 6 and 30 centesimi were issued as revenues in February 1908.

Blair (and Tony),

You may have noticed on Tony's scan (but your French is excellent !)
that these stamps are from a provisional issue (Emission provisoire).

But the catalog illustrated by Tony (Yvert, Forbin, ... ?) apparently
does not explain what a provisional issue is ;-)

Would somebody care to clarify this point ?

Bonjour Pierre :

In February 1908 these four stamps were assigned to revenue-fiscal use. A
few months later, still in 1908, a series of 16 stamps from 1 centesimo to
12 lire was issued for official revenue use. I assume that these four
stamps were intended for temporary use -- just to bridge the gap until the
official series was produced. I have never seen notes about these four
stamps except for the "émission provisoire" that you mentioned, but in
similar circumstances I have seen notes like "uso provisorio" or "uso
temporario" on documents and certificates that were issued in small Italian
towns and villages for temporary use until official versions were received
from Rome. That's the best I can come up with.

Hello Tony,

Many many thanks !
It is much more than I was needing :-)

Now I understand very well what was behind such 'provisional' issues.

Hi Rod,

Many thanks for this scan and all these definitions which clarify very
well (together with Tony's explanations) these 'provisional' issues.

BTW, I've heard many times of ask phil.
Is there an internet site where one could find all these useful
definitions ?

Hi again, Rod !

Congratulations for your Aussie guy !
But I must confess that I am not a great fan of the Tour de France and
so on :-(
A few days ago, it was in Brittany, in a small old town named Auray
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auray (10 miles from my cottage)
and I prefered to stay at home, away from the crowd ;-)

To come back to stamps, here is a French stamp showing some old houses
of Auray :
