Hi
All I can tell you is that it is a French revenue stamp and will not be listed in the regular catalogues. Sorry I can't help you any further on this.

'Affaires étrangères' translates as the 'French Foreign Office'.
Hope this helps narrow the search.

Hi srdcruz,
This is from a French set relating to consular services issued in 1940-1955.

Uh, THERE's a stamp that's somewhat lost without the cover it was applied to!
Perhaps that circled "73" offers a clue as to its use?

It was probably attached to a document of some kind.
I believe the "73" cancellation identifies the office where the stamp was applied which I guess was a consulate or embassy.

Issue of a visa or duplicate of a lost passport perhaps? 1000 francs at some stages of the period mentioned was not a huge sum of money.
