Slovakia 1939 Overprint on Czechoslovakia Stamp

Slovakia · 1939 · 50h

This stamp is a Czechoslovakian issue featuring linden leaves, overprinted in black with 'Slovenský štát / 1939'. The overprint signifies the establishment of the First Slovak Republic. The original underlying stamp was part of a definitive series of Czechoslovakia.

Issued shortly after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, this overprint marks the creation of the Slovak State, a client state of Nazi Germany. It was a provisional issue to meet immediate postal needs.
