Żarki Local Post Forgery: Trees Design

Poland · 1918 ·

This stamp features a detailed design of trees, characteristic of a local post issue. It is identified as a forgery of a stamp from Żarki, a town in Poland, likely mimicking an early 20th-century local postal service issue.

Local post services, often operating independently, emerged in various Polish towns during periods of political transition, particularly around the time of Poland's regaining independence after WWI. Forgeries of these issues exist due to their collectibility and historical interest.
