These postage due stamps are from the new design of 1934, at the bottom half of Postage Due album page. At their center is the crest for the king and the house of Savoy, withe crest flanked by fasces, the symbol of Mussolini’s National Fascist Party. On top of that, though, is an overprint of the fasces again to symbolize the Socialist Republic. I’m not sure why they didn’t print instead, the initials RSI.

Note

Recently, I started buying these postage due stamps issued by the Italian Socialist Republic. As you can see, I now have all but two of them. They’re a little pricey. It’s been a slow crawl to completing this page and the Italy in Transition album. But I’m almost done.
