World War II collection of occupation overprints issued by the Axis powers, concentrating on overprints of Greek stamps for islands including Zante, Zara, Kefalonia and Ithaca, Korytsa, Cerigo, and Paxo. Includes a substantial section with "Jersey 1940" and swastika overprints as well as Michel-listed "MURDER / RUIN" and "LIQUIDATION OF EMPIRE" propaganda issues. The German overprinted airmails are reprints with "Privater Nachdruck" on reverse. The overprint quality ranges from very obvious forgeries to possibly legitimate printings, and though many are signed in thin red ink or pencil these are not necessarily guarantee or expertisation markings. A fascinating lot of 517 stamps with research potential, sold "as is" Estimate =
