The first stamp is two French islands, Wallis and Futuna, in the South Pacific. In 1842 missionaries residing there appealed for hel to France after a rebellion of some of the local population.. The last stamp is French Croatia. I believe Croatia gained her independence sometime after WW2, I stand to be corrected.. I do love the overprints.
Lector I never heard of any French Croatia. If it's "Franco" that make you believe that, it is wrong believing. Franco is a french term like in "Franco de port". It means the cost of mailing or delivring is include in the price. Daniel
It's Croatia 1941 postage due Scott 27. Value is $0.75 mh in Scott 2007
Lector I hope it's no big deal. We are all in the family and enjoying the hobby.
HungaryForStamps Franco is not a currency. Overprinted on a stamp I don't know precisely the usage. In general it means what I wrote before. Would need more infos on that. Daniel
About the Wallis and Futuna stamp. It's a 1 centime de franc or 1 franc divided by a hundred. It is part of a 28 stamps set. The first of Wallis and Futuna. French territories and colonies are appealing to collect and cheaper than the British Empire. Thanks for posting these stamps. Daniel
