Colima was a sub-office under Guadalajara until May 1865.
Colima never overprinted the district name on the stamps received, in violation of the rules. Perhaps Colima never received the instructions.
The survival rate of stamps from Colima seems to be above average. Very few of the consignments are difficult to find, the only exception being the medio real from invoice 122-1866.
