Military and occupation stamps and covers has always fascinated me...I have collected some over the years. Your Polish collection, are they unused, used (postally used ot CTO)?

Well it was an airmail stamp and was much more expensive than the regular stamps. They were about 2 to 4 cents. Would have to pull out my mother's stamp collection to be sure.
