<br />
Any information on above stamp.<br />
<br />
Brought from EBAY only £1.50 <br />
<br />
The Proclamation of the Republic of Austria stamp issued in 1945 is a significant piece of postal history, marking Austria's return to independence after World War II. This stamp was part of the provisional issues during the Allied occupation and is often sought after by collectors. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">perhaps.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Answer</span><br />
After contacting  a senior member of the society I found that it was from 1946 and was part of a set:<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ST. STEPHEN'S CATHEDRAL RECONSTRUCTION, 12 DECEMBER 1946. </span><br />
Funny how being out of the set, I failed to recognise it. I knew I had seen it before some where!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anyone recognize the strange overprint on these stamps?  I was able to use some software to make it stand out a little better, and I've recreated what it looks like for a little more legibility...I have yet to see anything about this in any of my catalogs and literature.  A friend remarked that he thinks it may be from some kind of a fiscal use, but doesn't know one way or the other and is basing that thought on other things he's seen from other countries.<br />
