Everyone knows about the 1941 Italian overprints of Greek Stamps in Cephalonia and Ithaca (Itaca) on pairs.

However, I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar overprint on single stamps. I have 7-8 and will make some images to show.

I am thinking they are fakes, but someone with a Michels told me they could be real and valid, and not often seen because of high value.

anyone knows of these overprinted stamps? scott list a couple of them, but gives no price.

thanks. brian

How are you going with the scans?

I am interested in seeing these stamps. They are listed in my ancient Stanley Gibbons Part 2 (1968 edition!), but only on some of the Air Mail and Charity Tax issues.

Thanks
Alex

Hellas lists the following overprints on single stamps (as opposed to pairs):

16 stamps with the overprint: ITALIA / Occupazione Militare / Italiana isole / Cefalonia e Itaca

36 stamps with the overprint: ITALIA / Occupazione Militare / Italiana isola / Cefalonia e Itaca

The only difference between these two overprints is the spelling of the word isola / isole.

42 stamps with the overprint occupazione / Militare Italiana / Isole / Cefalonia e Itaca

37 stamps with the overprint Occupazione / Militare Italiana / Isole / Cefalonia e Itaca

The only difference between these two overprints is the capital or small letter "o" in occupazione.
