             Please find attached a report about the Yugoslav stamps with overprint "Međimurje" as well as the copies of the documents related to this issue with a request to publish them.

            In Zagreb are spreading rumors that this is just a private issue what is not true, so it would be very important that the Directorate P.t.t. in Zagreb officially recognize these stamps and to include them among the others first issues of the Croatian independent state.

1945 SPLIT, Picture postcard

Quite a few Split-issue stationery are available, but picture postcards with this issue stamps are surprisingly rare; half a dozen are known, and only one was sent registered.

1945 Split local provisional issue, registered picture postcard, adequately franked with 30 kn, sent by a military person from Split (2.VI.45) to Zemun (8.VI.45). Censor cancellation No. 3, Split.

The front side has a beautiful photo of the Split shore.

1944 Ravna Gora, Chetnik letter

It is known that Chetniks have operated in some areas of central and southwest Serbia even long after the Red Army and Partisans liberated Belgrade (20th of October 1944). Therefore, it is not unexpected that post office in Natalinci accepted a letter franked with the Ravna Gora issue still in November 1944. The basis for acceptance was a decree of postal usage of Ravna Gora stamps issued by commander Miloš V. Marković on 5th of April 1944 in which postage rates were declared as follows: standard letter: 1 din, letter with greater weight: 2 din and registration: 4 din.

1944 Ravna Gora, Chetnik issue, letter, correctly franked with 1 din, sent from Natalinci (11.XI.1944) to nearby village Rudnik. Very rare! Certificate Krstić.
