58. Lebanon Network Overprint
Unknown 57     Back to UPO Home     Unknown 59
Many Lebanese stamps were overprinted with various networks as control marks. Are all of these "national" issues or do different networks or colors represent different districts in Lebanon?
I have only ever seen one sort of network per stamp overprinted, and only one sort of overprint is on each stamp listed in Stanley Gibbons' Middle East catalogue. I would guess that this would be a national issue; being the first stamps issued after a period of 3 or 4 years of war my guess would be that this was in order to invalidate looted stamps.

It is classified from Yvert as Lebanon-Avion N° 657. [Pier Paolo Rosso]
