WWII Occupation - Serbia

Set Date(s)

5 December 1941

Certificate(s)
Aid for Serbian Prisoners of War
This set of stamps was issued to benefit Serbian Prisoners of War.

The stamps were printed in 10×5 sheets, with the stamps of each 5×5 half-sheet forming a cross pattern — unburelaged stamps at the center, surrounded by partially burelaged stamps, with full burelaged stamps on the outside.

The stamps with burelage can be found with two types of burelage — that with points of the burelage pointing up (suffixes “I”, “III”, “IV”), and the rarer variety with points of the burelage pointing down (suffixes “A I”, “A III”, “A IV”).

In addition, the center stamp, which is without any burelage, can be found with (suffix “A II”) and without (suffix “II”) an engravers mark.
