the PV and PVI issues were not overprinted and are only recognisable by the cancellation. Both PV were used by Field Post Offices and post offices in the war teritories: they must be cancelled from 1-9-1900 to 31-8-1901 (end of the Field Post), however there are later cancellations up until 31-12-1902 that were requested by collectors. PVI was used by Field Post Office No.2 as well as the Imperial Post Office in Peking (now Beijing) with cancellation dates mainly from April to November 1901.
