@NSK Thank you so very much! I don't have a Michel book, but do you know if these are scarce?

Rozvadov is in Czechoslovakia, I bet that's from when they invaded and then repurposed their stamps. Crazy!

Locally overprinted for this region? Maybe a Michel catalog for a listing? There is a footnote in the Scott catalog after Czechoslovakia# 254.

There were only six officially recognized local overprint issues in the Sudetenland, and these were not among them. There were several unofficial local overprints, of which this might be one, but I strongly suspect these are fakes. Several of the stamps bear cancels from other locations and cancel dates that were years old at the time these overprints would have been used.

I collect the British Isles. I do not have Michel. If it is listed at all.

Rozvadov was in Czechoslovakia. It is in the Czech Republic now.

I have a feeling PostmasterGS will know more about these. He, likely, will read this thread.

My guess is that Tongman65 is not far off the mark. October 8th, 1938, may suggest Sudeten Germans from the town overprinted Czechoslovak stamps to make it clear the town had become German in the wake of the Munich agreement.

Ah, he visited when I was writing. I wondered whether I saw a 1933 cancel on a stamp overprinted. 8. Okt. 38.
