Authorization to Possess Prohibited Weapons
(Autorisation Ermächtigung de détenir des armes prohibées.
Very little has been written about Luxembourg revenue stamps or stamped paper, and even less about Luxembourg communal revenue stamps. The basic reference remains John Barefoot's BENELUX REVENUES, now in its second edition. This blog builds on and adds to the existing literature, and attempts to inspire others to share information about Luxembourg revenue philately. The revenues from the 140 communes are featured on a separate blog: www.luxcommunalrevenuestamps.blogspot.com .

DIMENSION
Death certificate [Sterbe-Urkunde] issued by the Luxembourg District Court
[Bezirksgericht - Luxemburg] on 10 November 1936, decedent Nicolas Hoffmann.
10c Tete-Beche Proof Pair
1898 Effets
with u-shaped ornament
Barefoot notes that "[p]roof pairs are known of the 10c and 20c tete-beche; it is not known if the issued stamps contained any tete-beches."
1889 Effets de Commerce
Two types of the Cone issue ornaments
Left side - Type A
Cones are separated from the center cross
Right side - Type B
Cones touch or nearly touch the center cross
Since the 1889 Cone issue (Barefoot 50 to 55) is fairly common, it's not too difficult to acquire examples of both types. Barefoot notes the two types, but does not give them separate numbers. My Type B is often found printed in a darker blue.
1889 Cone Ornaments
5c value Rouletted
The 1889 Cone ornaments issue (Barefoot 50-55) is fairly common and is found imperforate. Here, however, is the 5c denomination neatly rouletted. Perhaps done privately?
Has anyone else seen examples of this issue rouletted?
