Additional Information

From 98 there are also light blue, from 99 - with gray or black, from 102 - with light green and red overprint. Of all values there are with horizontally and vertically shifted overprints (for 99-102 overprint "1912-1913" overprint "OSVOB. VOJNA"), and also with errors in the letters and numbers (for 97-98,100-103 - "1918" instead of "1913"). The overprints were made to commemorate the Balkan War of 1912-1913, called the Liberation War, since its goal was the liberation of the lands with Bulgarian population in Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace, which were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The order for the overprint was placed on 15.V.1913, two days before the signing of the London Peace Treaty (17.V.1913), which ended the war. However, the stamps were put into use shortly after the end of the Allied War and the signing of the Bucharest Peace Treaty (28.VII.1913), the consequences of which have been described as the First National Catastrophe for Bulgaria.
