They are number of overprinted stamps right after the end of WWII issued to commemorate the liberation in places that have been occupied. Please, show me what you have!
Jaromerice nad Rokytnou, Czechoslovakia 1945 local issue There was a serious lack of black ink in the town of Jaromerice at that time, therefore most of the known postmarks used red ink and people used pencils to write.
"III. CSR" means Treti Cesko-Slovenska Republika: 3rd Czecho-Slovak Republic According to Wikipedia, the Third Republic is from 1945 to 1948. It ceased to exist when the Communist party took over the country by a coup and formed the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...%E2%80%9348)
On Feb 12 1945 Poland issued a set of 10 overprinted stamps commemorating the liberation of 10 towns, Scott 347-356. The base stamp was the deep-red shade of the 25 gr. 'Goznak' definitive of 13 Sept 1944 & the set is relatively easy to find.
Much harder to find is the Liberation of Warsaw overprint on the dull-red shade, Scott 349a. I've had the set of 10 for years but only filled the gap with this baby last year
Nice stamp YeaPolska! Thanks for showing. Polish stamps are especially interesting when it comes to these 1944-45 liberation overprints (1944-45 local issue section of michel):
Unfortunately, many collectors are blindly labeling them as "bogus". It's really sad..
