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 1-9-1901 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.PVIe thru PVIn also exist with cancels other than "PEKING DP" (pre-Peking German Post) and "K.D. Feldpoststation Nr. 2" (colony German Field Post Station No.2). Cancels after 1902 were accidental cancels as Kiautschou stamps were not available for payment of postage in China.
