Czech: German Occup. Period

I need some help…

in identifying the two overprinted 1938 Czech stamps shown on piece. Could someone id. a SC# for me and the cancellation location?? I know the date is 30. Nov. 1938. I'm pretty sure "ASCH 1" indicates "ASCH, Czechoslovakia - Post Office 1 or Clerk 1".





Thank you in advance for your help.
Hal

The address for Asch 1 post office is Postplatz 911.

Can't help on Scott, but my old SG Europe lists these under Sudeten District: Asch. Issue date of 21 September 1938. Six values (including two different surcharges on the 25 heller). SG only lists mint prices, however.

If genuine, there are local issues that were used in the Ashe region of the Sudetenland for a brief period in 1938. Quoting Michel:

"The area along the Sudeten Mountains belonged to Austria as the Bohemian border region before it became part of Czechoslovakia in
1918. At the Munich Conference of September 29-30, 1938 agreement was reached for the annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany.
In the course of the Sudeten crisis, Czech troops abandoned a few German speaking areas before the Munich Agreement was signed. As
a result the Sudeten German Party began issuing its own postage stamps beginning on September 21 in the areas of Asch and Rumburg.

On October 1, 1938 the Sudetenland was ceded by Czechoslovakia to the German Reich. Until sufficient supplies of German stamps arrived,
Czech stamps were used, to some extent unchanged, while in other places the Sudeten German Party sold surcharged Czech
stamps at the post offices. The use of Czech stamps with and without surcharges ended at the latest with a notice from the OPD Dresden
on October 20, 1938. After that only German stamps were valid for postage."

Your two are Michel #1 and #4. There are multiple varieties of those two issues listed in Michel, but the most common are valued at €16 and €10 used, respectively.

Also, cancellation dates are 30 September, 1938.

And THANK YOU GeoffHa and PostmasterGS for the information -- that really helps. Thanks again and best wishes to the holiday season and a happy, HEALTHY New Year!

Hi guys, full explanation of Asch provisional issue can be found on the website bwloq ;) During the period of "Free state of Asch (german) \ Aš (czech)" post office clerks were using czech stamps with 2 inscriptions of Aš and Asch. This area was speaking in 2 languages german and czech that's why is the stamp in both of them. Later was czech inscription of Aš removed. And 1 means post office 1 in the city of Aš.
