Return To Catalogue - Peru - Fiscal stamps
In 1884-85 many provisional overprints were used. Overprints exist for Alerta, Ancachs, Apurimao, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Chachapoyas, Chala, Chiclayo, Cuzco, Huacho, Moquegua, Paita, Pasco, Pisco, Piura, Puno and Yca. I have not yet been able to catalogue this section fully. Be careful, many bogus issues exist!

(Probably forged 'PISCO' overprint)
Stamps with overprint 'PIURA':
Six different stamps of Peru exist with this overprint. The overprint exists in two sizes.
Two stamps (5 c blue and 20 c red) were issued with overprint 'PIURA' in an ellipse (sorry, no picture available yet).
Stamps with overprint 'PIURA VAPOR':
Two postage stamps (5 c blue and 20 c red) and two postage due stamps (5 c red and 10 c orange) were issued in 1884 with this 'PIURA VAPOR' overprint.
Example:

Another overprint exists with 'YCA VAPOR' (similar to Piura) on 1 c orange, 5 c blue and 20 c red.
1881 Imperforated, fiscal stamps overprinted ' PROVISIONAL 1881-1882', 'AREQUIPA' in circle, and/or overprints '1883'.
(Reduced sizes)
10 c blue 25 c red
I have seen a whole sheet of the '1881-1882' overprint on 25 c (10x5 stamps); it seems like the overprint was done manually, there are even some double overprints.

1885 Arms and persons

Some fiscal stamps were used for a few days as postage stamps (10 c blue, 25 c violet and 1 S brown, all with inscription '1883-1884), examples (the last stamp is used postally):
(Reduced size)
A Senf forgery of the 10 c, with red 'FALSCH' (=forged in German) overprint:

This forgery is also described in Album Weeds. This forgery looks much better than the genuine stamp.
