Upper Silesia Postmarks & Map

I am in the process of updating my maps to a larger scale and I will include more towns and the railway lines of the time. I am also doing Eastern Silesia. I will post images when they are available.

Thanks BeeSee, that would be great

By the way, can I use your map on my DCStamps site?

Lots & lots of maps of Upper Silesia here -

Yes DC Stamps, you may use my maps. All the maps I make are free to use on other philatelic sites.

Perhaps it's obvious to everyone, but in the March 30 comment that lists trains/postmarks from Breslau, unless I am profoundly mistaken, the last listing (no. 5, Breslau-Oswiencim) is to a town much better known by its German name, Auschwitz.

Or is there more than one Oswiecim/Oswiencim??

Yes Hieronymus that is the same Oswiecim. However, both towns (Breslau and Oswiecim) are outside the Plebiscite boundaries. Oswiecim is across the border in Poland about level with Mikolow / Nikolai.

A Beuthen cancellation for the topic:

Any members suggest a purchase value for the "Gorny Slask" issues,
individual, and sets, please.
Thanks.

Rod,

Perf or imperf?

Hi Postmaster,
apologies, I was remiss in not being accurate, please forgive,
I was seeking the korfanty issues.
ebay has widely varying prices.

Rod,

You were accurate in your reference. Those issues can be found with line perf 11.25 or imperf. The imperfs are more common.


At the German philatelic auctionhouses, these would probably go for 1/3 to 1/2 of CV. I haven't done much searching on ebay, but I would expect their prices to vary wildly. The common ones of this set are probably dirt cheap, especially if not MNH, while sets including the less common denominations or MNH copies are probably much higher (non-German sellers tend to grossly overprice rarer or more uncommon/unusual German materials).

examples of:

Bismarckhutte Polish postoffice 2nd class. Was a part of Koningshutte. Nowadays know as Chorzow. Not perfect cancels, but not that easy to find.





Emmagrube. Kr Rybnik Polish Post office 3rd class.

Postmaster,
thank you very much for that, the imperfs are in range.
I'll order a "save" on my ebay.
Appreciate your time on my behalf.
