Re: Help identifying revenue stamps
What you need is a copy of "Notes on Chinese Revenue Stamps" by Tom Shea. All the stamps you show are there together with some of the background.
Every China collector should have a copy! If you have problems finding it try the CSS Library https://www.chinastampsociety.org/library
