Cancellations of the First Republic - 02

Here are some of my recent acquisitions of postmarks from the First Lithuanian Republic.

Laižuva P.A. (Pašto agentūra/Post agent) 1921. Not in the best condition but how can I pass Laižuva P.A. 1921? Nooo way! 

Virbalis 1925 

Saugai 1929. Recently I give much attention to those former Memelgebiet towns. German name: Saugen 

Šakiai 1931 

Railway post Klaipėda-Kybartai 193? Possibly, The longest route in Lithuania.

Definitely not so common Vilnius 10! I was lucky for this one. Postmark date: 26.3.1940

  1. Very amazing materials, as always.
    But the last ona ("VILNIUS 1939-X-10") is a greatest document indeed. It shows that Lithuania did eat Vilnius from Poland, before being invaded by the USSR.
    Best wishes!

  2. Yes, it's a stamp that commemorates the return of Vilnius. It was originally for the 20 years anniversary of the First Republic but "VILNIUS 1939-X-10" was overprinted on it.
