R.S.I. 1943-1945
Catalogue of RP PAGATO and RR POSTE TS postmarks used to substitute franking
PIEDMONT - LIGURIA
Study centred on the postmarks used in the RSI from 1943 to 1945 to pay postage in cash, without the sticking of postage stamps. They indicated that payment had been effected (RP PAGATO), or that the destination office had to collect it (REGIE POSTE TS).
The research is limited to the territories which became part of the Italian Social Republic on 29 September 1943, and it is extended, for the same territories, to the period of the Allied occupation.
List of the post offices in force in that period; analytical tables of the post offices which used this method of franking; valuation of the postmarks in their combinations; postal regulations relevant to the subject and much more.
