1945 SPLIT, Overprint proofs

Split overprint proofs are very rare. Three full sheets and three half sheets [1] have been found long after the 1945. Over the last years, most of the sheets were cut and sold to the collectors. Only two half sheets remained whole and both are now with me.

Note that overprint plate with only half setting was used because base sheets were in tête-bêche orientation.

 1945 Split local provisional issue, overprint proof with value of 30 kn in darker green color, complete half sheet. Certificate Vilfan.

1945 Split local provisional issue, overprint proof with value of 30 kn in final green color, complete half sheet. Certificate Vilfan.

Dark green and final green overprint proofs enlarged.
