RW25 var, philatelically contrived or fake postal cancel, plate number 166754
Proper use of a duck stamp was by the hunter signing the face of the stamp in ink. They are not postage stamps, and post offices were not to cancel them as if they were. That may explain why there is no town marking in the mute cancel, or perhaps a private person used a cancellation device of their own. Further proof that this was philatelically produced is that an entire plate block of 6 was "canceled" in this manner, and that the item was offered with undisturbed original gum.
