Sheepshanks,
That link strangely points to the Stamporama site.
Strange, I will admit I did not check it, but have checked this one which in my case did download the pdf.

Thank you moderator, not sure how I got it wrong, but good to see it removed.
In fact Cheryl had got it correct with the bars through the cancel.
Thankyou This site was a great help. Cheryl
I am collecting and organizing my Canada flag cancels and have met with two words.
From 1897 to 1898 the flag cancels are referred to as * barred cancels* and from 1898 to 1902 the word *involute* is used to describe the flag cancel. Can someone more knowledgeable than I please tell me what this is all about ? What am I to look for in order to determine what type of cancel I have ? I`m thinking the barred is referring to a flag cancel with two heavy bars through the flag BUT not sure ??????
Thanks Cheryl
