The Poland section of the sale includes an 'exceptional collection' of Second World War Occupation proofs and essays, with one of the most interesting lots offering an unissued 1944 12gr green stamp featuring an iconic 'Panjewagon' illustration, which is described as being 'a major rarity from General gouvernment'.
The 'General gouvernment' was a German zone of occupation established after the joint invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Slovakia and the Soviet Union in 1939. The stamp is estimated to sell for $6,000 (£4,565)
