1919 Tirol, inscription 'LAND TIROL FREIMARKE'

(Reduced sizes)

These stamps were used for food parcels in Tirol. A 20 heller red on white and red on yellow exist in the small size and a larger stamp of 20 heller in red (also exists with 3 types of overprints).

Non Official Overprints

All these overprints were made by local postmasters (without official authorization).

Stamps of Austria overprinted 'EIL' (exists for the towns of Linz and Graz)

"Eilmarke" on Austrian stamps (Graz issue):

Local issue of Spielfeld, inscription 'Befreiung Spielfelds 29 Juli 1920' and 'Deutscher Gau Osttirol':

'Abstimmung in Salzburg 29 MAI 1921':

I have also seen this overprint on the 1 kr brown and the 2 kr blue of the same serie.

'Burgenland befreiung' (Liberation of Burgenland):

Other local issues:

(Eagle and '24 April 1921', reduced sizes)

Knittelfeld(?) issue, stamps of Austria overprinted 'Republik Deutsch- Oesterreich':

I have also seen this overprint on the 15 h Emperor Charles issue of 1917.

There are two types of printing of these stamps, lithographed and engraved. There are also two types that can be distinguished by the value inscription, the background behind the value is more solid in one type. The word '1873' is also smaller in the that type. I have seen many of these stamps overprinted 'SPECIMEN'.
