Central Lithuania Sc/SG #1. Was a short-lived puppet republic of Poland, that existed from 1920 to 1922, without an international recognition. It was founded on October 12, 1920, after Żeligowski's Mutiny. Lithuania Sc L1/ SG #2 issued 1919. Soviet troops occupied Vilnius in January 1919, established a communist government and issued overprints of Russian stamps. Scott lists this as "South Lithuania, Drodno district". Lithuania Sc/SG #1 issued December 27, 1918. Printed by Martynas Kukta in Vilnius. There were not enough types for the last Lithuanian letter in the word "skatikų". Only seven were available, so 12 inverted "h" and one inverted "ń" were used. Please note the information is from the First Issues Collectors Club.
