Newly discovered – Double surcharge on the 1920 1-Franc Timbre de Dimension

50-centime
Documentary Tax
surcharged
1 Franc p. 11x11.5
Here is a previously unreported double surcharge on the 50-centime documentary tax issued c1920 (Barefoot No. 5).  It appeared recently on eBay.  This is also the stamp on which the 1 Frang error appears.  See this blog post.
Do you have this double surcharge (or others) in your collection?  I’d be glad to post scans of such material on the blog so that it can be included in future catalogs. 
Cordial collecting!  You never know what a Delcampe or eBay seller might offer tomorrow.
