| This is a
revenue handstamp, meaning RESTITUTION. This is the first time that I have
encountered this handstamp on a postage stamp. I am aware of Stamped Paper
for Reintegros which together with Stamped Paper for Multas (Fines) was
created by the Proclamation of the Governor General issued on April 20,
1853.
Arnold Warren
devoted Chapter 9 of his unpublished studies on Philippine revenues to
Stamped Paper for MULTAS, REINTEGROS and PAGOS AL ESTADO (Payments to the
State). Please click HERE
for this chapter.
I maybe wrong
or probably missed it but I have combed Warren's unpublished manuscript
and found no mention of a "REINTEGRO" handstamp on postage stamps. |
