Hello,
I am hoping someone may be able to shed a little light on this mystery (at least to me) stamp. Shown is a 20heller Austria Sc 169 overprinted with block Deutsche Oesterreich. The stamp is on a complete cover mailed 21.11.18 to a local address in Schwertberg (town to the east of Linz). I assuming this is a local overprint from the time of the formation of the Austrian Republic in 1918. Scott doesn't show this overprint; the online Austrian Philatelic Society paper on 1918 shows no similar overprint in their article. Perhaps in Netto, Michel, or Sassone?
Thank you to all,
Thomas
