Here, on a civil register abstract dated 30 November 1945, we see Pétange’s pre-WWII French-language pictorial communal revenues back in use, but on a German-language form from the war years when French text had to be obliterated from revenue stamps (see my post here showing Echternach communals with German text obliterated).

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 .
