Seller's Description
1941 Albania Exile Stamps Set of 4
These stamps were printed by the Albanian underground while in exile in Italy in 1941. They were to be issued as regular postage after the Communists were overthrown. Because the government remained under Soviet control, they were never used as postage. Consequently they are not listed in Scott's catalogue. There was a very limited number printed and they are quite rare.
The stamps are large (1¼ by 2 inches) and each is printed in a different tri-color. They feature portraits of Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Gjergji Kastrioti. Gjergj Kastrioti, widely known as Skanderbeg (Lord Alexander), is one of the most prominent historical figures in the history of Albania and the Albanian people. He is also known as the Dragon of Albania and is the national hero of the Albanians. He is remembered for his struggle against the Ottoman Empire.
