Lot 20793 – Latest day of usage of the Italian cds in Saarland

1935 (Feb 25) Picture postcard « Die Saar bleibt deutsch für alle Zeit! » (Saarland remains German for all times!) with a big swastika on the top of a monument, sent to Modena and bearing superb « Comando Truppe Italiane nella Saar » cds, on the latest day of usage of this postmark, carried by military courier to Milan, with the Italian postage due missing on arrival -as usual in that period- when the stamp was partly applied on a piece of paper protecting the area of the text in a postcard and this was removed to read the missive; three creases not detracting. Exceedingly scarce used on this day.
