in this month's AP there is an artical on Czech issues and mentions a very brief postal period in 1918 for some Prague local issues. Does anyone know what catalog lists these? I screenshot would be appreciated. From reading this, it would likely be called Scout post.  |

Note that there are shade varieties on both the 10h and 20h values. Michel lists the 2 shade varieties of the 10h, but only POFIS (Czech specialized catalogue) lists the 2 shades of the 20h red. The lighter shade stamps command a premium Here is the page for this issue from POFIS 2015

Wow! A ton of information. Thanks.
One reason I could not find it in Scott was because OL series is not in my 2016 standard but do see it in my Scott classic
