Freistadt Danzig - Second Overprints 1920

FREISTADT DANZIG (Free City of Danzig) in 1920 issued several stamps. The year 1920 was a banner-year for the new City / State of Danzig, with nearly every conceivable denomination of Weimar Republic postage stamps being overprinted and / or surcharged in varying styles.

In August 1920, a new style overprint was introduced by the Freistadt Danzig. This very attractive overprint, in carmine or blue, featured the word "Danzig", diagonally oriented in script lettering, with a colored bar below, obscuring the inscription "Deutsches Reich". 

The Michel catalog presents these new overprints in three groups. The stamps in the first (and second - 40 Pf) groups, are as follows:

    05 Pf.  (1920 - Mi. #21, Sc. #34) - Green.
