Serbia query.
The ovpt obliterations of King Alexander1 on the 1903 issues
differ on these two stamps. Any explanation? Is the LHS a forgery perhaps? http://cjoint.com/data/hpo6fKee1X.htm |

Serbia query.
My reference books are a dog's breakfast.
I have to swap around to find the book that deals with that particular country. In this case SG Part 2 (1963) "The arms on the dinar values (except number 186 [1dinar blue green]) are smaller than in the type 13 opt" (the arms shown on mine RHS) Not sure about the "funny business", Serbian issues abound in paper varieties and perforation varieties. The "king peter on the battlefield" issues had other values prepared, but it is uncertain whether they were issued for postal purposes, as on the evacuation of Nish, the stock was left behind, and fell into the hands of the Austrians. Beware of reprints. "Blair" wrote in message ... On Jul 15, 9:05 am, "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote: Oops. disregard the post. I see the note after the set in Gibbons. Sorry.

... Serbia don't have any funny business around, they have very serious - if You take in account country that are most of history in war - it can be just "serious" business with postage stamp. snip This King overprint, that happen in 1903 is best as can be at the time! Printing machine in most of "civilized" europe was far away of tehnology used on Serbian soil - and war on every corner!!! Yes, Serbia, and generally the Balkans have a past filled with wars, that ended with the wars & ethnic cleansings, etc. of the end of the 20th century. The wars were stopped from outside. Just pro memoria, the beginnings: " The "powder keg" "exploded" causing the First World War, which began with a conflict between imperial Austria-Hungary and Pan-Slavic Serbia. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, a member of the Austrian royal family, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist of the Black Hand movement. ... Due to the system of European alliances, this led to a series of escalating Austrian and Russian mobilizations and eventually Germany and France were also obliged to mobilize and declare war. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_keg_of_Europe There are many stamps that remind us the tragic events related to the WWI. Just to finally mention that the printing technology mentioned above, used in Balkans, was mostly imported from the Western countries. The situation hasn't changed since, at least in the region of Balkans that I know better. -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
