Any time Italy took territory, within a few weeks or days, they would overprint the definitive stamps depicting the king and send them to the local post office for use. It was figuratively and literally the king’s way of putting his stamp on newly claimed territory. They had big plans for Olte Giuba, so they needed plenty of stamps – as you can see from this page of stamps that were first sold in the territory.

Note

I have all of these stamps except for the three on the last row. I haven’t seen them for sale yet, but I don’t think they’re too expensive. I’m watching for them, so it shouldn’t be too long before this page is complete.

Contains 20 spots: own 20 – 20 unused, 0 used.
