Hello all,
Pretty sure these are from around WWII era, but can't find the references in Scott.
Anyone want to take a stab?

The first and second row are suposed to be France's Vichy Governement stamps (1940/44) overprinted by the Free French Forces after liberation fron the nazi occupation. But they look "very fishy" to me.
The third one seem charity stamps to rise Money for the French ressistance movement, and the forth one seem to be a Germany French Occupation stamp.
Sorry, I've no more information.
I don't think you'll find them on any catalog unless the overprints are official. Which I'm not sure about.

The third row is in Scott under "French Colonies" as B2-6.

The last stamp, Hitler overprinted "Occupation Francaise RF", is listed in Maury under "Guerre de 1939-1945". The full set of 9 stamps has a CV of 625 euros. I could not find the 1st two sets, but Maury only lists a few of the many towns that produced similar overprints.
