7 August 1945 - Victory

The unissued 1936 Red Cross Issue was overprinted in Amharic (de le) and V for Victory

Forgery B

 Poorly formed Amharic letters tend to be fuzzy. The Amharic "Le" has a serif jutting off the right leg. The loop on the left leg usually touches the right leg.

Forgery B Amharic letters are 145-147 mm apart. Genuine overprint letters are 127-130 mm apart. The V is the same size as the original.
