Advice of Receipt

The Advice of Receipt Type AR-l handstamp has been seen cancelling a Third Issue stamp, but no example is known on cover. Type AR-2, however, was widely used to cancel the stamps that paid the AR fee (5m. or 1pi.). On registered letters with the AR fee paid, only the stamps used to pay it were so cancelled, the stamps that paid the postage and registration fees being cancelled with the customary date-stamp.
