Tough one! These stamps were apparently used by the Swiss army on postcards? http://www.igstamps.com/shop/?page=...86f18f461748The blue and white shield is for Zurich, I think. Couldn't find them in my Zumstein catalogue. The lower one is called an advertising stamps on an ebay site asking 4 Euros Can't seem to paste the URL Just google "III 105 aktivdienst" |

wadmalatz, I googled "ter bat 1941" and got the following ended item on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...IdoaP04%253DNot the same stamps as yours but those are referred to as German Local stamps. Also look at the bottom of your postmark, it looks to me to reflect "dpost" and the other stamp in my link has a postmark with "Feldpost" at the bottom. |

I have a Swiss catalog of military stamps - "Die Soldatenmarken der Schweiz" from 1977. Your stamps are listed as Territorial Troops #332 (cat 1.25 Swiss franc) and Infantry #458 (1 franc).
I have a couple of hundred of these stamps. They issued them for different divisions, artillery, aviation, bakers, carrier pigeon units, anti-aircraft, frontier guards, labor units, construction, surveillance, infantry, pontoon units, motorcyclists, medical service, engineers, training, telegraph, reserves, transport, commissary, misc., cavalry, demolition, and more. |

Here is an example from 1944, depicting General Guisan, supreme commander of Swiss forces:  and another from what I assume must be Swiss Dragoons, considering the horse:  |
