1. Known overprint SPECIMEN in serifed caps in violet, 19.25 x 2.75 mm. 2. During and after the Italo-Ethiopia War contemporary stamps of Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, and Libia were used. The Italians had cancelling devices for various towns they occupied as well as the Posta Militare cancels. Towns in Tigre Province are shown as Eritrea. Ethiopian stamps found with various Italian cancels and Italian stamps with Ethiopian cancels are primarily philatelic. 3. From February 1938 until 1941 the stamps of Italian East Africa were used with may showing cancellations in Ethiopia. |
