    Still no good, but I'll try anyway:

    SG 120 is a F5.00 blue-green airmail stamp with 'RF' in the bottom left corner. My copy of SG Part 6 (France) carries the following footnote:

    "A number of stamps were prepared by the Petain Government of Unoccupied France for use in French Oceanic Settlements but, as the inhabitants declared for the Free French on 2 September 1940 these issues were not placed on sale in the territory..."

    Gibbons don't list these stamps in their catalogue but quote a price of £6.00 for a set of the airmail issue (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100f) without 'RF' in the corner

    If that's what you've got then well and good, if not then ignore everything I've just written!

    It's an ongoing undocumented 'feature' of Delcampe at the moment - very frustrating!
