1938-43 Exhibit collection of 13 covers or cards, essentially detailing the story of the Postal Service set up by the Italian Consul General in Tangier, during the Spanish Civil War. This facility was operated by the personnel of the Royal Italian Naval Wireless Station in that important port near the Straits of Gibraltar. Postal service commenced in May of 1938 and continued until Italy's surrender to the Allies in September 1943, at which time the Wireless Station was shut down. Although the Tangier office operated for over five years, covers are difficult to find and it has taken Mr. Kugel well over a couple of decades to acquire the items shown here, including censored mail franked with unoverprinted Italian stamps, other with "R.S.R.T.- PA R.Stazione R.T. Tangeri" overprints (three covers, each with Chiavarello certificate), commercial mail, 1943 cover with unoverprinted "Imperiale" definitives (Raybaudi certificate), etc. An in-depth study of this little known facet of Italian history (Image)
