| 1920 Sc41 SG57 |
Gibbons [1] notes that the area was disputed by Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Although a plebiscite was intended, it was never held due to civil disorder and the Counci of Ambassadors divided the area between the two parties in July 1920.
There is also a series overprints on the stamps of Poland (Sc41-50, SG57-66).
The "S.O." stands for Silésie Orientale.
