Bangladesh, Pakistan, Scott 132b, 134a on 1972 cover. 4 re-drawn definitives with local single line Bengali overprints in violet tied by 2 strikes of indistinct CDS-s, rose cachet at left, reduced at left, light stains & bends.
Stamps of Pakistan were overprinted during the March 26, 1971 and April 30, 1973 Provincial Wars period for use in Bangladesh. Covers are very scarce used during the Provincial Wars period. These interesting locals are not listed in any of the major catalogs, and there are many machine printed and handstamped varieties of these local overprints that were issued for cities and towns throughout Bangladesh, especially those near the Pakistan-Bangladesh border controlled by the Liberation Army, the Mukti Fouz.
