Italy 1945 G.N.R. Overprint Issue

Italy · 1945 · 25c

This stamp is part of a series issued by the Italian Social Republic (RSI), a German puppet state in northern Italy during the final years of World War II. The design features an overprint of the letters 'G.N.R.' (Guardia Nazionale Repubblicana) on a definitive stamp of the Kingdom of Italy. The overprint signifies the authority of the new Fascist republic.

Issued in 1945, these stamps represent the last philatelic output of Mussolini's regime before its collapse and the end of the war in Italy. They were used in the limited territory controlled by the RSI.
