I recently purchased a nice set of Hungarian Charity Cancels







The script is a bit to fancy for me to read and translate.
Can anyone help?

I tried deciphering the characters and attempted use of Google Translate - utter failure.

I believe the words "war" & "military" are within the phrase.

I wish I could lend a more satisfying assistance with this.

Regards,

I'll try but only sketchy. Given the stamps were (mostly) war charity stamps of 1917 and noting there is a cancellation that is unreadable (better scan of single stamp would help), I think this text is saying that these are war charity stamps canceled at a Military Airforce or Aircraft Exposition.

"Hadi repül#337; kiállítás" = military aircraft exhibition

So the first line basically says (I think) military aircraft exhibition stamps, though I guess that depends on the cancel

"segély belyég" = charity stamp

"lenyomatt" = canceled (I think)

I can't make out a couple words, so probably indicating these charity stamps were canceled at the exhibition (military aircraft exhibition of 1917)

Oh and the underlined word at the end (különlegesség) basically says this item is a specialty item, basically "special".

It starts "Military flying exhibition."

That's as far as I've gotten! Hahah!

Here is what we have so far:
Hadi repülő kiállítás = Military Ariel Exhibition
Bélyegző = Seal
Vel = By
Lenyomott = Depressed or orphaned
Hadi Segély belyég = Military relief stamp
Sorozat = Series
Különlegesség = Speciality

I think these may be special cancels at a military exhibition, probably sold at over face value with the proceeds going to military widows and their children.

I'm pretty sure the lenyomott (lenyomat) is qualifying the seal (cancel) applied to the charity stamps at the exhibition. So something like Military Aircraft Exhibition cancels imprinted (pressed) on war charity/relief stamp series. Although the charity benefited widows and orphans of WWI. I wouldn't translate "lenyomott" to "ophaned" in this case. But I am by no means certain. This would be my guess if the item were mine.

Military aircraft exhibition imprinted by stamper, military charity stamp series. Speciality.
As my family are Hungarian, I hope I translated it correctly. But just having another look at it, it can also mean military charity stamp series imprinted by military aircraft exhibition stamper.
