2173. 🇱🇹 Dubious In Memory Products From Stamperija.

 


New products of dubious nature.

🇱🇹 Stamperija

The infamous producer and seller of paraphilatelic products - the Lithuania-based Stamperija - has announced the release of items claiming to honour the memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II with the names of two Commonwealth countries printed on them.

These products take the form of previously issued ‘miniature sheets’ with additional inscriptions applied. These are interesting items merely from the point of view that one issue is inscribed Solomon Islands for which Stamperija has not produced any new items since 2016 and has not indicated that it has a renewed contract to produce stamps on that country’s behalf and the second issue is inscribed Mozambique whose postal service has been abolished and which therefore, one assumes, has no need of postage stamps.

One must conclude therefore that these are dubious products using up old items which Stamperija has left over from several years ago and which have not been approved by the two postal administrations of the countries named on the products. Until there is proof that these items have been put on sale in post offices for use on mail by ordinary postal customers in the respective countries it is suggested that anyone wishing to collect stamps released as a memorial to the late Queen Elizabeth may wish to hold back from spending their money on these products and hopefully catalogue editors will recognise the dubious nature of the products and not add them to their listings without proof of their appropriate usage.
