While large numbers of stamps were printed, most remained imperf as only tiny numbers of pin-perf stamps were prepared before Nazi authorities banned the issue. Only several of ea of these are known with genuine cancels due to the extremely limited period of use & the fact that most inhabitants of the ghetto perished in Nazi camps. Provenance -vendor (who was then a teenage collector & son of an official of the Jewish Ghetto administration) obtained them at the Ghetto post office in the morning ½ hour before seizure of the rest of the stock by Nazi authorities. In our view the most important philatelic items of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto & one of the most important items of WWII German occupations. 2007 Ceremuga photo-certs. (P)
