Bayern Overprints
Weimar Postage Stamps
On 6 April 1920, Germany issued this set of overprints of the Bavarian “Farewell” series, the last set of stamps issued specifically for Bavaria. Three of the overprints (MiNr 128, 132, 135) are denominations not released as part of the Bavarian set (Bayern MiNr 178-195).
Two printing varieties exist for the larger denomination overprints.
The stamps can be found with many plate flaws and overprint varieties/errors.
Overprints varieties include the following: (images courtesy of Jason Drake)
