Mixed Hindenburg Luxemburg & Hitler-head WW2 Frankings: a 153-day Window


Mixed Hindenburg Luxemburg & Hitler-head WW2 Frankings

1 Aug 1941 - 31 Dec 1941

 a 153-day period



25 Rpf Hitler-head & 100 Rpf Hindenburg

Luxemburg 1c
to
Clervaux [bs], 3 Sep 1941

14.9 kg Zone 1 = 1.05 RM
COD fee [160.19 RM] = 20 Rpf

 --------------------------------------

The Hindenburg Luxemburg overprints were valid until the end of 1941.  All Reich stamps became valid in Luxembourg on 1 Apr 1941, but the Hitler-head definitives were first issued on 1 Aug 1941.  And beginning 1 Jan 1942, only Reich stamps were valid for use in Luxemburg.  

Thus, Hindenburg-Hitler head mixed frankings were possible only for 153 days -- from 1 Aug 1941 to 31 Dec 1941.  

Although most such mixed frankings are inexpensive, they are remarkably hard to find.  But if you search for them, your reward will be a nice niche collection.

Here are a few more examples:

Allan, Du kennst uns beide. Wir sind Philatelisten - keine keine Bildersammler.
Dank für Deine zahlreichen philatelistischen Beiträge (andere gibt leider zu oft).

Bei mir, mit 84, baut es so langsam ab.
Könntest Du etwas von uns gebrauchen?

Mit herzlichen Grüßen

Maria & Dieter
