The stamp has been lifted for inspection (signed Herbert Bloch) and re-hinged in place, v.f. As such, this is believed to be one of only two (!) known covers bearing this rare stamp (of which only 200 were issued). The unwatermarked varieties of 20c (also of 60c) occurred because of a defective process in the manufacture of the watermarked paper. Only a small section of some of the sheets had the watermark fading out. It has been established that there is always a trace of the watermarks, although they may be impossible to detect (Mi.220Y)

The "1921" variety is a previously unrecorded error and is offered for the first time at auction. Mr. Krischke writes that this error must have been spotted quickly and corrected immediately, as all stamps encountered from position 21 contain only the regular "1941" overprints. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique error from the German World War II Occupation of Lithuania

ANTARCTICA
1918 Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (1872-1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He led the first Antarctic expedition to reach the South Pole between 1910 and 1912. He was the first person to reach both the North and South Poles. He is also known as the first to traverse the Northwest Passage. Amundsen, along with Douglas Mawson, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton, was a key expedition leader during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. While initially, he used Fridtjof Nansen's Fram under the South Pole expedition, in 1916 he contracted his own polar "Matilda". It was used for sailing through the Northeast Passage. Amundsen led an expedition from 1918 to 1920. The aim of the expedition was to explore the unknown areas of the Arctic Ocean. The plan was that they were going to sail along the coast of Siberia and go into the ice farther to the north and east than Nansen did. In contrast to Amundsen's earlier expeditions, this expedition had a clear academic profile, with geophysicis
