HANDSTAMPED OVERPRINTS | |
Illustrations below show handstamped overprinted stamps. Strictly speaking these overprints should be regarded as "applied by favour" . Although they have been listed in SG for many years and are now listed in Michel, they have never been officially recognised by either the printers responsible for producing the stamps or the Palestinian Authority. The overprints were applied by the Jericho postmaster (who said he received the rubber stamp from a Gaza official) as a favour to an Israeli stamp dealer. The story about these handstamps is fully explained on this excellent website. Just click on the link below. www.zobbel.de/stamp/pna_1994.htm Any covers with these handstamped overprints were also created by the same dealer and should be regarded as purely philatelic covers. While we have just a few individual stamps for sale, an Excel list (more than 100 covers) is available and will be sent by email to anyone interested in buying one or more covers. Please email us to request a list and further details. palstamps@outlook.com |
