Italy query.
Good friends launched the lifebelt Thanks Jill. Just in case no-one else has answered your Italian query - the PM and GNR stamps are listed in SG, at the end of Italy. The PM stamps are listed under Military Post Stamps M583-M602. The GNR stamps are listed under Italian Social Republic, including Express Letter Stamps and Postage Due Stamps. If you want to know what the initials stand for, check out http://www.askphil.org Go to Reference Library, then Glossary of Stamp Collecting Terms - all sorts of interesting initials to be found there.

Italy query.
Rod wrote: Italy overprints "PM" and "GNR" can someone help me out please? Thanks The Italian Social Republic, governed by Mussolini with the support of the German army, included the Center-Northern part of Italy in the beginning. As the Allied armies advanced, the territory was restricted to the northern regions situated near the Alpine Chain and to a part of Emilia and Tuscany. The period from September 23, 1943, to April 25, 1945, corresponding to that of the Republican Government, is represented by the use of the "imperial" set values overprinted "G.N.R." (Republican National Guard) locally and with "provisional" characteristics. Issues of the "Republican National Guard" with a typographic overprint "G.N.R." in red or black were released between December 20, 1943 and February 1944. They were overprinted on the "imperial" set stamps of 1929-42 (20 values); on Kingdom airmail stamps (2 values); on Kingdom express stamps (2 values); on war propaganda stamps of the Kingdom (12 values); and on Kingdom postage-due stamps (13 values). The first issue was produced by Bontacchino Typography in Brescia, the following by the Chiamenti Typography in Verona. P.M. (overprint on stamps of Italy): Italy, military stamps (1943-5 [Posta Militaire (military post)]. Blair |

Thanks Blair, within my electronic stamp album, I allocate a file for every stamp overprint I have. Hence a simple "Agent ransack" search on PM or GNR would have the stamps in nano seconds. A non match indicates I have never had these overprints before.
