Ted,
I'm not certain on the legalities of all of it, I'll take your word for it. Lipset, the ACC, and the Standard Catalog all refer to Red Cross as a Louisiana issue and I've always heard to it referred that way as well.
I would assume why overprinting of some factory notations was important and thus done--because if they didn't and were distributed out of the state printed, they would be in violation of federal law?
Why is Red Cross considered a Louisiana issue? My thoughts and recollections are based purely of hobby documentation, suggestion, and reports of Red Cross "finds". Any of you have any other reasoning for considering Red Cross a Louisiana issue?
