Main Index

BLP Stamps were first issued in 1921. The letters stand for Buste Lettere Postali, and the stamps were used by War Casualty Charities at a discounted rate. They were used on special envelopes. Further details will be published on this site at a later date.

The overprint has been extensively forged - beware of purchasing expensive items without a certificate.
