Hohenzollern-Yacht series

Hello stamp1,

sorry, in my catalogue I read, that the imprint on these German issues is a fake from the british side. There are also no real cancellations on these stamps.

Here you can find more informations about these British Forgeries:

This is not a real stamp. There are 4 values – 4H, 7 1/2H, 15H and 30H and all exist with and without the overprint and values in Cents. You can also find them unused or with fantasy Field Post cancels.

Some call them propaganda issues - I think it they are bogus issues.

However it was created during the war or just thereafter and they even got a story with them, why they are now called “Karissimbi provisionals”.

Here some more:

I can't tell you at the moment, as I'm on a business trip.

The cover shown in your linke is one of about 5 examples. Everything is bogus - the field post cancel, the R-cancel etc. are all not known on any other than these "covers" and loose stamps.

One of two known sets on letter of the Karissimbi Provisionals with some other stamps (called bogus issue!) realised 1.300,- brit. Pounds by Grosvenor Philatelic Auctions (penultimate number Lot 2840):
