1945 MOSTAR, Unique No. 13

Only one sheet of No. 13 was overprinted inverted, so any constant flaw on this sheet is unique...

1945 Mostar provisional issue, No. 13, 30 kn / 3.50 kn - Petar Zrinski with inverted overprint. Constant flaw Jugosiavija instead of Jugoslavija, overprint position 85, base stamp position 42. Ex Tiberio. Unique.

1945 SPLIT, Censorship numbers

After the liberation of Dalmatia, the partisans established a censorship service in most major cities. Uniform (but not identical!) censorship rectangular framed rubber stamps with the inscription "CENZURIRANO / Br. No." were used. All known numbers are listed below:

  1 Drniš (RR)
  2 Hvar (R)
  3 Split
  5 Vis (RR)
  6 Šibenik
  8 * Biograd na Moru (RR)
  9 * Obrovac (RR)
10 Dubrovnik
11 * Omiš (RRR)
12 Zadar (RRR)
13 Knin
15 * Novigrad (RR)
16 Korčula (R)
17 Sinj (R)
18 Makarska (RR)
19 * Preko (RRR)
20 * Vrgorac (RRR)
21 * Supetar (RRR)

* The identification of the location of the censorship office is uncertain and based on a limited number of preserved items.

Except for 3 Split, 6 Šibenik, 10 Dubrovnik and 13 Knin, all other censorships are rare. According to my knowledge, the rarest are No. 11, 12, 19, 20 and 21. Whether the numbers 4, 7 and 14 were in use is unknown.

Forerunner of the 1945 Split provisional issue, letter sent from Obrovac (13.III.45) to Dubrovnik, free of charge as the sender was a military person, censored in Novigrad "CENZURIRANO / Br. 15" .
