Message: Dear all, I have a postcard sent from Shanghai, China during 1898, and the Chinese stamp has been cancelled with 'I. G. P. O.' and three black bars. I assume that the 'I. G. P. O.' stands for Imperial German Post Office. Can anyone either tell me more or where I can get information about the postmark? See scan for more information. Thanks, BK
