1944 SENTA, "big Senta" on cover

Stamps Mi. I-XIV and PI-III, also known as "big Senta" were overprinted in a very low print run (50 of each). They used them for the commemorative cardboards (16 complete sets) and as gifts for the military commanders and other local notable people. For postage usage only stamps from "small Senta" have been used.

I have a cover with mixed values from "small" and "big Senta". An extreme rarity, no other use of "big Senta" stamps on covers is known to me!

1944 Senta local provisional issue, cover, sent registered from Senta (21.X.1944) by local merchant to the Liberation Committee in Subotica. Mixed values, 30 f without red overprint. Signed Tubinović.
