I do not expect that Scott lists them, but where do I find them in Michel?
Here are some examples:

I'm not aware of a single catalog that lists all the issues.
Your top 2 stamps will be listed in Michel Germany Specialized.
The French issues are listed in the Ceres.
Are the Flemish issues not in COB? I didn't check NVPH.

I stand corrected. They are all listed in Michel Germany Specialized.

In the 2009 Michel Germany Specialized Part 2 (English Edition), they are listed starting at page 105. This falls under the section German Occupation Issues 1939/1945 under the subsection Private Issues 1939/45.
I'll see if I can find it in the German language editions...

I guess I need to upgrade my Michel catalogue. Germany is not my top priority, so I only have the single volume standard Germany catalogue.
I would be very surprised if the Flemish legion stamps were listed in the Dutch NVPH catalogue. OBP/COB seems a more logical option. I have a copy, so will have a look.

OK, in the 2013 Michel Deutschland-Spezial Band 1 (German Edition), they are listed starting at page 1081. This falls under the section Deutsche Besetzungsausgaben 1939/45 under the subsection Private Ausgaben 1939/45.

I haven't see them in NVPH. But I can't read Dutch, so...

The Dutch legion stamps were "real" postage stamps in contrast to the Flemish, Walloon, French, Danish and other issues. So the Dutch legion stamps are in the NVPH, but the Flemish (Belgian) ones are not of course, which is because they are not Dutch in the first place 
. I think I misread your earlier message about these.

No, it was my poor formatting of my post. I put the catalogs I weren't sure of all in one line. I should have put the COB and NVPH on separate lines.
But you are right, the Dutch issues were valid for general postage use. So they are in the general catalog listings of the NVPH and I have found them.
Learned several new things; thank you!

I believe you will find that most used copies of the Volunteer Legion stamps (labels) are often faked or completely philatelic if not faked and that genuine used copies of Volunteer stamps are quite valuable -- and likely through the valuation roof when found on cover with an acceptable certificate.

Hi Bruce,
You are correct. These volunteer Legion stamps as well as other curious items such as the Afrika Korps stamps, U-Boot stamps, Inselpost overprints and the socalled "Schwarzungen" are notorious for being 98% or more fakes / forgeries. It is all because there is such a huge worldwide demand for anything even remotely related to the "Nazi" theme.

Does anyone know where to find catalogue listings for the various volunteer legion stamps issued by Flemish, French etc. legions in German service during World War 2?
