Item Description

Scarce 1918 Poland 5 Halerzy City Post in Żarki Local Postage Stamp This is a Reprint of the Original Rare 1918 Stamps. Ununsed Cracked Hinge Remnant Cracked Gum A local postal service briefly operated in the Polish town of Żarki during the month of October 1918. Postage stamps were issued, in one design but in three denominations denoted by different colouring. A set of forgeries was made in 1928. The stamps, both genuine and forged, have attracted philatelic attention. After the closure of the local post on October 28, 1918 and all genuine stock was exhausted, Abramsohn sought to fulfill philatelic demand for the original stamps by printing forgeries at the Adolph Panski lithography printing works in Piotrków (now Piotrków Trybunalski) in 1928.[1] The forgeries spread so much through the Polish and German[13] stamp trade that it is estimated now that most stamps in general collections will be found to be forgeries.
