Finland Military Post Porto-Free Label 1941

Finland · 1941 · Porto-free

The label features the Finnish coat of arms, a lion rampant, with 'SOTILASPOSTIA' (Military Post) above and 'PORTOVAPAA' (Porto-free) below, printed in black on dark red/violet paper.

Issued during Finland's Continuation War (part of WWII), this label served as a porto-free substitute for stamps, enabling military personnel to send mail without charge between November 1941 and June 1943.
