Over Print Colors

Luree Hughes

I've been working in Egypt and was looking at Scott #302,303 and 308 that have overprints in BL (Blue) or C (Crimson) or B (Black).

Does anybody know what color abbreviation RV stands for?

Red Violet?

Luree Hughes

Thanks, Harry. I didn't think of Red Violet. Hard to tell with the little bit of the overprint.
