      This page lists all 200 of the Volume 6 "Combat Insignia" numbered stamps which were produced in 1943 by Robert Lash Robbins (19?? - 19??) (Postamp Publishing Company / Poster Stamp Publishing Company), Chicago, Illinois -- Publisher: Hearst Publications, Inc. and The Light Newspapers, (1942 - 1944), San Antonio, Texas. Plans are to also someday display scans of all 200 stamps. Except as noted by "{A}" (my personal collection), all other displayed scans were found on the Web.

Album sizes: Volumes 1-5: 7-1/2" x 10-1/4" -- Volume 6: 8-1/2" x 5"

      References -- What's New on this page

      So far, I have found only 95 out of the 200 Volume 6 Stamps to display here. Of these, 25 of the photos I found on the Web are so small that the Group name printed in black is unreadable. Please contact me if you can assist in completing this documentation by supplying scans of some or all of these 200 stamps in large enough resolution that the black printing on all the scans is sharp and readable. Scans of 1943-1945 canceled covers with these Volume 6 stamps are also most welcome.

      Poster Stamp Bulletin, October 1943, page 1: "200 full-color" ... "37 of these Poster Stamps are duplication of ... stamps in ...Series 1, 2, 3 and 4, while 163 are new." It is unknown at this time how many total designs were issued for all 6 Volumes. The stated reference is incomplete. Instead of only 37 duplicate designs, so far, I have found 45 duplicates. Of these duplicates, 18 of these designs were first issued in Volume 5, which the above reference does not mention. The duplicates I have found, i.e. the same design with mostly two different Insignia numbers, are displayed on this page.

      No Covers with these 200 stamps were listed by Sherman. Stamps and covers on this page are listed in Volume 6 Insignia Number order. I assigned Catalog Numbers based on that order.

          These are the Volume 6 front cover and sample photos of Volume 6 stamps from lots already sold by the time I first saw them. These are photos of stamps pasted onto Volume 6 album pages . No complete or fewer multiple stamp lots have been offered at eBay since I started looking for them in March 2022. The Volume 6 stamps shown on this page were either cropped from these photos or were single stamp lots for sale at eBay, with the exception of #31 which is in my collection. All displayed Volumes 1 - 5 stamps (the designs duplicated in Volume 6) on this page are in my collection.

          Volume 3, Combat Insignia 105 is shown below because it is also marked as the 82nd Bombardment Squadron. This is the only example I have found so far where this Poster Stamp Series portrayed the same named group with two different designs. The above Bulldog design is documented in many places on the Web, but I cannot find another example of this Tiger-Kite-Bomb-Sling-shot design anywhere.

Unknown Volume 6 Combat Insignia Numbers -- Many have Unit names not included in Volumes 1 - 5.
      These are all examples of stamps which were trimmed by their servicer, Mae Weigand (1906? - 19??), to fit the blank space in the preprinted cachets. The Cachetmakers have not yet been positively identified. A possible cachet designer might be Walter G. Crosby (1881 - 1947). Mae did a lot of this type of servicing using "Combat Insignia", "Heroic Americans", "Fighting Americans" and "The Spirit of 42" Poster Stamps Series all using 2 stamps on the front and sometimes a 3rd stamp on the back, and many times with stamps from different Series on the same cover. The first example is a cover serviced by someone else who did not do any trimming of the poster stamp.

    What's New on this page -- changes since 10-23-2022
          05-31-2024:
    Added the first batch of stamps from my recent complete 1-200 purchase: #1 (V6) - #5 (V6) -- #190 (V6) - #200 (V6)
          05-22-2024:
    Added 2 cover scans: #83 (V6), #114 (V6)
          04-16-2024:
    I finally found a Volume 6 album with all 200 poster stamps pasted into it. All 451 different "Combat Insignia" Poster Stamps can now be documented. It will be awhile before I start scanning them all, but I have replaced all 200 "(V6) [?]" with each Insignia design's Unit name.
