On his page all new discovered
handstamps will be listed, waiting for publication in an eventually new
publication.
Notes:
-
If a link in the colum "Cover Image" is provided,
a fully size high resolution image of the cover bearing the respective
Handstamp. That image will open in a new layer.
-
If you copy the image that has been scanned from the
original cover and open and enlarge it with a graphic program you will see
measuring lines around the handstamp imprint. These lines indicate the
measuring border from which the actual measurement has been taken.

I run across an image from an old
collection page with the shown cover that carries an unusual "By
Overland Route Or Air Mail" handstamp. Unfortunately the image i
have is of low resolution but i can recognize the year 1927 as
year of use. Any information on the whereabouts of that cover is
highly appreciated.
