Description
Issued in 1920 during the League of Nations administration of the Saar Territory, Saar Scott #6 is an overprinted Germania definitive adapted from a German Empire issue. The base stamp depicts the allegorical figure Germania, a symbol of strength and national identity widely used in late Imperial German philately.
This issue bears the bold black “Sarre” overprint, identifying it for postal use in the Saar Basin following Germany’s defeat in World War I. The overprint reflects the region’s transitional political status, as Saar was separated from Germany and placed under international control pending a future plebiscite.
Printed in a striking carmine-red tone with strong engraved detail, the stamp combines the ornate Germania design with the stark practicality of the overprint. Saar #6 is part of the foundational first definitive series of the Saar Territory and is essential for collectors specializing in German area or postwar European stamps.
This example is offered used, with a visible cancellation, intact perforations, and solid overall eye appeal.
