Pre-cancellation of type b 1 (MICHEL) : typographic overprint with the location (uni- or bilingual) and year of validity (four-digit). This overprint is used on this stamp in 1929 and 1930. An overprint of type b 2 exist also. MICHEL grants only 1 number for this overprint, regardless of the location or the position of it. Belgian Specialized Catalog however grants a different number for every year and location. It also distinguishes the precancels according to the position of the overprint: A = readable from the bottom to the top B = readable from the top to the bottom This gives the following list of precancels: PRE201 = ANTWERPEN 1929 ANVERS, position A or B PRE202 = BRUXELLES 1929 BRUSSEL, only position A PRE203 = CHARLEROI 1929, only position A PRE204 = GENT 1929 GAND, only position A PRE205 = LIEGE 1929 LUIK, position A or B PRE206 = LEUVEN 1929 LOUVAIN, only position A PRE207 = VERVIERS 1929, only position A PRE221 = ANTWERPEN 1930 ANVERS, position A or B PRE222 = BRUXELLES 1930 BRUSSEL, position A or B PRE223 = CHARLEROI 1930, only position A PRE224 = GENT 1930 GAND, only position A PRE225 = LIEGE 1930 LUIK, only position A PRE226 = LEUVEN 1930 LOUVAIN, only position A PRE227 = VERVIERS 1930, only position A Attention: there are also other, hand placed pre-cancellations with uni-lingual or bilingual indication of the location and a two- or four-digit indication of the year of validity.
