Stamp on a stamp (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postmark

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'stamp on' is the first definition.
'postmark' can be an answer for 'stamp' (postmarking is a kind of stamping). I am not certain of the 'on' bit.

'a stamp' is the second definition.
(I know that postmark is a more specific form of the action stamp)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postmark that I've seen before include "Stamp cancellation" , "It is stamped on envelope" , "Letter franking" , "It shows date and time of mailing" , "Frank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
