Hi Treacan,

it is "Postgebiet Ob(erbefehlshaber) Ost. 1916

Michel # 10 , catalogue value 8.00 ?.

These stamps were used in Lithuania and Kurland.

Kind regards

Hi Treacan and Gerhard,

With the help of Gerhard's answer I found it in Scott.

The # is IN10 (design A16)
40 pf lake & blk
[end of Lithuania chapter
"Occupation stamps"
"Issued under German Occupation"]


BTW, why this name "lake" for this colour ???
On Treacan's scan

I see what I would name a carmine colour.
