An extraordinary and highly specialized historical collection of vintage postage stamps issued during the turbulent early months of World War II (1941) in the Baltic states.
This rare philatelic set features scarce local provisional overprints applied onto Soviet standard stamp bases. It includes the complete run for Latvia overprinted with "LATVIJA 1941. 1. VII", alongside historically vital local wartime issues for Estonia (Estland/Eesti). The Estonian section showcases localized overprints from key cities including Pernau (dated 8. VII 1941), Dorpat (Tartu), Narva, Reval (Tallinn), and Viljandi. All stamps are in premium Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character, sharp overprints, and no cancellation marks.
Features:
- Set of 11 vintage stamps
- Authentic WWII German local issues (Baltic States / Ostland)
- Issued in the summer of 1941 during the transitional wartime period
- Includes targeted regional overprints: Latvia, Pernau, Dorpat, Narva, Reval, and Viljandi
- Base stamps feature Soviet definitive portraits, architecture, and pilot designs
- Mint Hinged (MH) condition (unused, clean mint condition without postmarks)
