Envelopes and wrappers (postal stationery)

The previous thread "postal stationery" has become to extensive.Time to start a more limited thread.
I am going to start with some uncommon,rather rare envelopes:

Peacock overprint by the Burmese Independence Army,issued in May 1942.
At the time Burma was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army.
Because the King´s image was embossed,different types of the overprints are
difficult to recognize.

 

Also issued in May 1942,this envelope is overprinted with a Henzada II - type
peacock.This type of overprint exists on stationery only.Stamps overprinted
with this type were produced unauthorized after the war.

 

issued June 1st,1942
The overprint reads: JAPANESE POSTS & TELES DEPT *MOULMEIN*
Centre: POSTAGE PAID
The handstamped R in a triangle was a security measure.

 

also issued June 1st,1942
3 different types of crosses do exist.
3 more envelopes exist with an additional overprint 5 C. and 2 C.

 

An Inland Envelope sent as air-mail letter 1971 (possibly June 3rd).
Additional postage: 2 x Birds definitives 75 C.,issued Feb.5th,1966 and...
on the back the genuinely used hard to find 5 C. Wild Animals,
issued May 11th,1970.

 

Envelope revalued 5 C.,issued July 1943

 

At the end of WW II Britain reoccupied Burma and put the country under
military administration.
The 1938 defintives were overprinted with MILY ADMN and the one Anna
envelope was also overprinted and revalued.
To be valid each envelope was personally hand signed by one of the
four postal administration officers:

upper Lt.Col. U Thein
lower Capt. Tweedie

 

upper: Lt.Col. U Tun Tin
lower: Lt.Col. U Tin

 

I had overlooked this envelope,issued in July 1943.
It was overprinted again,on the already overprinted one (peacock)
from May 1942.
The original envelope (without overprint) was issued in 1939.

 

I never had payed much attention to envelopes with imprinted stamps,I received from Austria.I thought,like in Germany,the imprinted stamps were images of
regular commemoratives.But when I took a closer look,I found that no such
commemorative stamps had been issued.

Issued 1983 (sent Jan.28th,1994),this one shows Bad Aussee in Styria.
The 4 S. domestic letter-rate was upgraded by a 3 S. stamp for international
shipment.

 

Yes,looks very much like tourist advertising.But I don´t know wether there
were more envelopes making a set.
