1944 PHILIPPINES/US 2c handstamped VICTORY, Sc #O38

Description

A lovely example of a very early Type 2 handstamp that only just shows the break in the handstamp itself between VIC and TORY.  This is rarely seen.
MLH.
This stamp is missing from most collections, so here is your chance at a reasonable cost as there were only 128 made!
Sc #O38
Viewers interested in this stamp should also check out my other relevant listing on here: "
PHILIPPINES: Specialized Catalogue of 1935 Pictorials and Japanese Occupation
".
This is the first major catalogue containing many years of research, some of which has not been previously published.  In particular, take a look at the catalogue section devoted to the O.B. and K.P. handstamps.  This information is not available in any other published reference work.
Its well worth a serious look and adding to your philatelic library.
