Type Duval

type Duval are the designs used by France and the French colonies general issues for its postage due issues beginning in VVVV. It is sometimes called the "Banderole" issue based on the scroll-like design.


 * They were first printed in black for France like the first postage due issues, issued in 1882-92.
 * In 1884, franc values were issued in brown for France.
 * In 1884-85, colonial general issues were issued imperforate, also in black except the franc values were in brown.
 * From 1893 to 1941, the French stamps were issued in various colors.
 * In 1894-1906, colonial stamps were also issued in almost the same colors, but as imperfs.

These dues can be cancelled with CDSs, triangles (with and without "T" and other code numbers and letters), or with pen cancels.

Both French and French colonial stamps have been overprinted or surcharged for use in specific colonies.
