Description
1942-45 WW2 postal history accumulation, the Anglo-Soviet-Persian censors, labels and cachets. Fascinating holding with a particular focus on the Anglo-Soviet-Persian censorship, especially the ongoing mail ex overseas on the 1942-45 covers, all sent to Persia. Of particular interest in the ASP system is the whole range of 3-ring cachets, and some with scarce boxed ‘NOT EXAMINED/IRAQ CENSORSHIP’ censor marks, some with Russian and/or British censor marks/labels; from Argentina,GB (2; one regd.), India (2), Iraq (2; with boxed IRAQ censors), Lebanon (2), Spain, Switzerland (2; one regd. with German censors), Turkey (8, mainly regd.), and USA (20), etc. A magnificent group that will delight the serious postal historian looking for Persian postal history during WW2.
