re: Callao

Hi Phil,

This appears to be an earlier revenue stamp, Forbin #20, from 1870-71.

Forbin says this has an overprint on the same basic stamp with "1870-71" and "CALLAO" although it doesn't give a picture of the surcharge.

Forbin #21 has a similar overprint but for the LIMA province rather than CALLAO.
