(8th Sep 1943 - 29th Nov 1944)
Albanian issue definitive stamps (Michel 1 to 4 and 7 to 13) were overprinted with blackish lilac brown or blackish brownish carmine ink, with the inscription "14 | Shtator | 1943" - '14 | September | 1943'.
No legitimate covers are known with these stamps (except for rare lower denomination covers). There are a great number of phony cancellations in circulation and all items should be expertised.
The original stamps are inscribed "MBRETNIJA SHQIPTARE" - 'Albanian Kingdom'
