Overprints

Přetisky

The Masaryk Issue was overprinted twice, once to benefit the Czechoslovakian Red Cross and once as part of the SO 1920 issue. Since both overprints were done from the original plates, the same types and flaws may be found on the overprinted stamps as on the originals.

For the benefit of the Czechoslovakian Red Cross, two stamps from the Hradčany and T. G. Masaryk 1920 issues were overprinted and surcharged. The surcharge amount went directly to the Red Cross. Since the same plates were used for the surcharged issue, the same types, flaws, and variations exist there as in the originals.

The stamps were released on December 15, 1920 and were withdrawn a month later on January 14, 1921. Some 650,000 125h Masaryk 1920 issue stamps were overprinted for charity.

The surcharge, designated Type B, was designed by Alois Mudruňka. A different design, by the same artist and designated Type A, was used on the Hradčany overprints.
