 Postage Stamps used in the German Marshall Islands Fraudulent use of Japanese Cancels by Dirk H.R. Spennemann |
|
| When the Japanese occupied German Micronesia, the German stamps were demonetized and could no longer be used for postage. Some of the the stamps were courtesy 'cancelled' with the chops of Japanese officers. From the Carolines we have examples where German stamps were 'cancelled' with Japanese cancellers (see above). These are creations for the philatelic market and do not represent genuine useage.
