So definitely not as Paul stated above " someone having fun and games with a rubber stamp kit ". I thought I would copy it this time so that when he deletes yet another post of his misinformation, we can still see what he said.

The overprint is not the result of some child or adult "having fun and games with a rubber stamp kit "

 

This is the kind of ignorance typically demonstrated by American/caucasian stamp collectors with no knowledge of both the Chinese language and the use of the swastika in Asia.

 

The word "swastika" is from the Sanskrit "sw"="good", "asti"=to be, "ka"= a suffix; so the word literally means "to be good".

 

The swastika symbol is quite fitting in this context, given its association with the Red Cross.

 

Finally, the overprint was an authorized one.

Like  I said  it is a private overprint , unauthorised  overprint done far away from the area that the revenue stamp was issued at .

Who cares  about the subject ,it is plain and simple not a philatelic item .........just fun and games by some packet maker looking to sell interesting things . .........

Thanks ------poster  X.        I didn't catch that ,but there is no such group as '"WORLD RED CROSS ORGANIZATION"    it must be in someones   imagination.-------your right it is the  International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent  Societies.

Im  waiting and so is everybody else  for somekind of proof that Im wrong on this .

This stamp is listed in the Handbook and Checklist of Chinese Revenue Stamps Part 6 by J. G. Wetterling (1999). The basic stamp is a 1920-1930 Chekiang Province General Revenue. He stated that it was overprinted in blue for use by the Red Cross.

Come on Paul. Fess up. You'll have to eat your shorts on this one ...

Come on boys, you know he'd sooner delete his eroneous posts than admit that he posted incorrect information.

LIKE   I  SAID  ---it is a private  overprint  and not  and not approved . FUN AND GAMES with a stamping  kit .

KDT 98 ---------let me nice about this and act civil , I don't know were you came up with the statement about J.G.Wetterling  handbook  part 6 having anything about the swastika overprint  but  ,I just checked into it and your little lie was accepted by the readers here ,but its not there ............maybe you would like to post a scan of the page .........but you didn't fool  everybody .

KDT - just messaged you, didn't realised you had replied here.

 

Paul calls everyone a liar when it turns out he has posted misinformation on these boards, we all get used to it.

 

scan the page and let the readers and me see it, to decide for ourselfs
