Hi Rod,

Here's my set of four SG 74-77 / Sc. #2L24-#2L27 / Mi 74-77

with the overprint on Sc. #2L26 in red rather than blue.

Nice work Roberto,
A visual feast

Nigel, thanks a bunch for that,
I thought my Opt was a crude attempt, but yours
shows the large R and TS in Hrvatska

I'll keep those as a reference, if I may.

Hi Rod,

Feel free to use any images or info from my posts.

I thought at first the blue opt may be one of the "surreptitious opts" that you mentioned (I'm guessing they would have the real overprint although perhaps applied in the wrong colour or on random Hungarian stamps) but the large H looks wrong to me as it should have small serifs.

Nigel

Hello.
These stamps, with double overload, are the forerunners of variable rate.
Inflation was so great that businesses waited every day for the radio to give the price of money to open to the public.
Regards.

Well spotted Nigel.
I have it as forged, until otherwise proven.

Wow! Looks like a very fun collection to me!

Hi Ozwald,
indeed it is, one of the country disciplines where you can build
an impressive 4 binder collection for very little outlay.

Then as one progresses, can expand into the scarcer material.
there's something for everyone.

Many of the Eastern European countries are looked down on but they produced a huge number of beautiful stamps which can be acquired for pennies. Any world wide or thematic collection will have lots of them - mostly CTO

I collect stamps from Czechoslovakia and among all the run of the mill portraits of heroes and statesmen are some very beautiful designs skilfully printed. Their first home produced stamps were designed by Alphonse Mucha. Many of their postwar stamps are colourful and beautiful designs engraved and printed with tremendous skill

As Rod says if you want to delve deeper there are a lot of byways to explore, and some stamps never seem to come across my desk in spite of the many boxes of glassines full of stamps I have accumulated

If you're that way inclined the first stamps issued, overprints of other countries' stamps were extensively forged and would make a fascinating study

Heartily agree.
Mr. Mucha what a talent!

Each country and their stamps have certain design elements that
flow through their catalogue.
Czechoslovakia and Hungary are two ideal examples.
