Żarki Local Post 6h on 3h Surcharge Pair

Poland · 1918 · 6h

A pair of Żarki local post stamps, each featuring a central emblem and a '6h' hand-stamped surcharge. The stamps are perforated and bear a cancellation mark, though this specific item is a known forgery.

Issued by the local post office in Żarki, Poland, in 1918, a period of significant political upheaval during World War I and the re-establishment of Polish independence. Local posts like this filled the void left by disrupted national postal services.
