During World War I, the Italian army temporarily occupied Scutari (present-day Shkodër), a port town in northern Albania. During this period, Italy managed the local postal service and issued stamps overprinted with "Scutari di Albania" on Italian stamps. These stamps are from 1915. Albania was under Ottoman rule, but declared independence before these stamps were issued, making them complex and difficult stamps due to the chaotic period and the Ottoman currency units. #ItalianStamps #AlbanianStamps #WorldWarI #OttomanTurkishStamps #OttomanEmpireStamps To see my other listed stamps, tap ↓ #226doucan'sStampRoom Thank you for viewing. #OverseasStamps #ForeignStamps #UnusedStamps #UsedStamps #SouvenirsFromAbroad #MiscellaneousGoods #Stationery #PaperGoods #Vintage #Antique #Materials #Art #Stamps #stamp #stamps #deadcountry stamp #Coins #Banknotes #coin #banknote
