The first liberation cancels appeared on the first day of the revolt against the Czechs (Sept. 21, 1938). Some of these had obviously been prepared in advance. In the enthusiasm of being "liberated" many cities made their own cancels and there is a wide variation in inscriptions, however the German Regional Head Offices in the areas nearest to the zones of the occupied territory did supply some of the nearby Sudetenland cities with cancels.  Still one the most historical stamp I have. |

Thanks,kuhli, yes it counts. It is the same stamp. Former Bavarian stamps with overprint Sarre. These brands were in the territories of the former Bavarian Palatinate in the now new Saar region to issue.  |

Pakistan state Bahawalpur 1949 UPU issue with OFFICIAL overprint. More attractive (to my western eyes anyway) than the usual SERVICE used on Pakistan officials.  |

This State was not recognised internationally and later came back to Congo.  |
