 * In 1910, typeset stamps inscribed FRANCO with a circle for the originating postmark were issued. These were released up to 1928, with different framelines, slightly different sizes and different typefaces/fonts.
 * In 1935, definitives were punched with a cross perfin. Forgeries are known.
 * In 1937, the engraved definitives were punched with a cross perfin. Forgeries are known.
 * In 1938, contemporary definitives were overprinted with a cross.
 * In 1942, contemporary definitives were overprinted Officiel diagonally in script.
 * In 1950, the 1949 definitives were similarly overprinted.

War Trade Board
Be aware that there are forgeries of both issues. Adding to that problem is the preference by collectors for CTO cancels on these issues since the usual postal cancels are badly or heavily struck.

 * In 1918, definitives were overprinted Industrielle / Kriegs- / wirtschaft in serifed (thin) letters. Clandestine reprints are essentially impossible to tell apart from the originals.
 * That same year, definitives were also overprinted with the same inscription in san-serif (thick) letters. Forged cancels are quite common.
