It contains several articles and summaries: an apology for incorrectly stating when someone died; a discussion of possible forgeries of pre-philatelic Hungarian stamps; background on the newsletter and study circle; and articles about early postmarks from Ungvar and commemorative cards related to the 1939 return of the Carpatho-Ukraine region to Hungary.
This document discusses auction prices and items from Carpatho-Ukraine postal history. Recent auctions have seen surprisingly high prices paid for ordinary items from the region. Letters and postcards that would previously sell for a few hundred euros have recently sold for over a thousand euros. Significant rarities from private collections have also achieved high prices. The newsletter provides details on selected lots and items that sold at auction to illustrate the rising interest and prices in Carpatho-Ukraine postal history. Experts contribute discussions on forgeries and provide historical context on early postal routes in the region.
The newsletter discusses auction news regarding items from Carpatho-Ukraine. Several large collections were sold at auctions in the US and Germany, including high prices paid for stamps, covers, and postal history from the region. The newsletter also provides information on 14 villages in Carpatho-Ukraine, including their current names and historical postal details.
This document summarizes information from the January 2009 issue of The Sub-Carpathian Messenger newsletter. It discusses the life of Fedor Feketa, an early 19th century postal worker from Carpatho-Ukraine. It also provides an overview of recent auction highlights of Carpatho-Ukrainian stamps and covers, and analyzes World War I censorship marks used in the region by the Austro-Hungarian army. The article includes pictures and details of specific stamps and postal markings.
This document is a newsletter from the Study Circle for the Postal History of Carpatho-Ukraine. It includes summaries of recent auctions containing Carpatho-Ukraine items, as well as maps of the region from the 16th-18th centuries and early 20th century showing postal routes and towns. It provides an overview of resources for researching maps and postal history of Carpatho-Ukraine.
The newsletter discusses:
1) The formation of a study circle focused on the postal history of Carpatho-Ukraine, composed of members from different countries.
2) A meeting of the study circle founders in Prague where they discussed cooperation and furthering their shared interest in Carpatho-Ukraine postal history.
3) The occupation of Carpatho-Ukraine by Hungarian forces in March 1939 after the short-lived independence of the Republic of Carpatho-Ukraine, and commemorative postcards produced to celebrate the meeting of Hungarian and Polish forces at the border.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. About us and the Newsletter
The Study Circle is a loose group of persons who are interested in the postal (and general) history
of the area known as Kárpátalja in Hungarian, as Podkarpatská Rus during the First Czechoslovak
Republic, which had a short day of independence as Carpatho Ukraine, and later was integrated
into the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union as the ‘Zakarpatskaja Oblast’. Since 1991 it is ЗАКАР-
ПАТТЯ, the westernmost administrative district in the now independent Ukraine.
The Newsletter came out of a meeting of a few collectors during the PRAHA 2008, its first number
appeared in November 2008. We aim at producing at least four issues per year but cannot promise
regular publication intervals.
Change in distribution method
Since SCM #006 you can view and download each issue (including the “old” ones) from the Web
address:
http://www.docstoc.com/collection/128/The-Sub-Carpathian-Messenger
For those who have no Internet access and/or no e-mail, the distribution method is still the same:
you will receive a colour print-out by air/surface mail as you did in the past.
Everybody can freely access the uploaded numbers of the Newsletter but the notification service
for new numbers will be limited to the members of the Study Circle. So joining us still has some
advantage.
As of March 17th, 2011, 4:20pm CET the following access counts were shown at this web site:

Auction News
Once again an important collection of Carpatho-Ukraine has been sold at Jiří Majer’s auction. On
12 March, 2011, a comprehensive 80-page exhibition collection of the 1944 and 1945 issues was
offered at a starting price of CZK 900,000 (= ca 36,500 EUR) and sold for that price. It consisted
of stamps of the Chust (ČSP), Mukachevo (ČSR) provisional issues and the provisionals (Poshta
Zakarpatska Ukraina) and definitive issues of the NRZU. It is stated to be virtually complete for all
the issues, and also to include rarities like 17 examples of inverted overprints. Provisional postal
stationery of the same issues were also included.
The rising interest for
rare postal items from
Carpatho-Ukraine is illu-
strated by a postcard
with a rubber postmark
from the Beňa postal
agency. It was offered at
Burda’s auction in No-
vember 2010, starting at
600 CZK and was sold for
no less that 11,000 CZK
(≈ 448 EUR)!
When it comes to old pre-
philatelic letters with no
postmarks, however, the
competition seems to be
less intense. At the Hunga-
rofila auction in December
2010, an official letter
from Nagy Szöllös dated
1767 was offered at a
starting price of HUF 6000
and sold for HUF 16,000
(≈ 60 EUR). Letters from
Carpatho-Ukraine in this
early period are not seen
very often!

Postal Connections in and around the Kárpátalja: Snapshot from 1849
In Austria and in Hungary the pre-stamp period ended with the introduction of stamps on June 1st,
1850. At the same date the postal tariff system was radically changed and simplified.
The latest map of postal routes before that far-reaching change that I have been able to find is
the “Neueste General- Post- und Strassen-Karte der Œsterreichischen Monarchie mit politischer
Eintheilung der einzelnen Provinzen derselben […] nach den neuesten Gränzbestimmungen und
den besten Hülfsquellen entworfen von Herrn Obrist Max de Traux und Herrn Fr. Fried […]. Wien,
bei Artaria & Compagie vom Jahre 1849“.
Part of this map, covering Upper Hungary east of Kassa and north of Nagy Károly, is shown on the
next page.
This map – as can be seen from its long and convoluted title – also includes the postal routes and
stations and the distances between adjacent postal stations in “Posten” (stages; approx. 15 kilo-
metres).
The graphical symbol of a postal station is:
I am confident that the structure of postal routes as shown on this (late) map, as far as the Kár-
pátalja is concerned, is the “final” state of the postal connections’ network before the introduct-
ion of stamps.

route.

To Halmi there was also a connection from V. Szıllıs (2 stages).
Although there was a postal connection between Munkács and Lemberg (see table 2), this connec-
tion was not used as the main postal route between Vienna or Budapest and Lemberg – for that
purpose the route through Kassa was much faster and more secure (and was certainly used for all
types of stage coaches).
In general one can expect
• all mail to the west to be routed through Kassa,
• all mail to central Hungary to be routed through Kassa or through Nyíregyháza,
• all mail to southern Hungary to be routed through Nyíregyháza,
• all mail to Siebenbürgen to be routed through Nagy Banya.
Mail to the north (Galicia or Poland) and the east (Bukowina) is so rare that I would hesitate to
name a preferred postal route. A postal connection from Szigeth over the Borsa pass to the Buko-
wina was only established in the late 1860’s.
This basic postal network was radically altered by the later establishment of railways in the area.

The Forgotten People
There was one ethnic group in the Sub-Carpathian region that – due to its nearly complete illitera-
cy – is necessarily a blind spot in each history based upon written exchange: the Roma people.
The »Encyclopedia of Rusyn History and Culture« (p. 156) says that by the late sixteenth and se-
venteenth centuries small numbers of Gypsies/Roma were living in the Subcarpathian Rus’. They
were living alongside Rusyns, generally in the cities, towns, and villages of the lowland plain and
foothills in Subcarpathian Rus’ and in nearby towns of the Prešov region. There has never been
any settlement, however, in which Gypsies/Roma have formed the majority of the population,
with villages usually containing no more than half a dozen families at most.
The “Gypsy Quarter” in Užhorod in the 1930s.
Even picture postcards with Roma motifs are definitely scarce and achieve rather high prices in
each auction.
Another “Gypsy Quarter” near Matašovce (1928).
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 15 (April 2011) Page: 7
8. The actual number of Roma in our area of interest has always been a matter of dispute. You will
not find them easily in any population statistics – they definitely didn’t like to be counted. Any-
way, during WWII the self-styled master race had no use for these pariahs, and so practically the
whole Romany community in Carpatho Ukraine was wiped out.
Picture of the “Gypsy Quarter” near Chust (1930).
In the book »Under the Carpathians« a whole chapter under the heading “The Gipsies” is given to
this ethnic group, partially reproduced here for our common education:
THE GIPSIES
The modern city of Uzhorod had a unique feature – a school for Gipsies. It was not the Gipsies
themselves who wanted the school; in fact, they would have been the last people in the world to ask for
it. When the school was set up by the Czechoslovak authorities, they had to bribe the Tsiganes into
sending their children to it. This was done by providing meals for the pupils which soon proved to be a
tempting bait. But there still remained the problem of teaching them. The little Gipsies were astoni-
shingly quick-witted, but their attention was ever vacillating and they seemed unable to concentrate on
any subject, except music, for more than a couple of minutes. Then, the educational authorities were
anxious to train the youngsters to keep clean, an innovation which most of these dark-skinned people
apparently found unpalatable. They had a native dislike of baths, innoculations and haircuts. The
Czechs, who were anxious to improve hygienic conditions in the country, had literally to hunt for some
of these obdurate nomads who were afraid that a wash or haircut would bring about their death. The
youngsters were not so difficult, for in spite of much screaming and yelling they could be bribed into
being washed and combed at school. A bribe was usually the most effective argument with the Gipsies.
But their interest could be aroused in other ways too. One day an English linguist who knows almost
every language under the sun, visited the Gipsy school at Uzhorod and was allowed to address a meet-
ing of the pupils and their parents in Romany, their strange and primitive mother tongue. He enlarged
on the importance of education for anyone who wanted to get on in the world and exhorted his listen-
ers to improve their knowledge by reading books written in their native language. “But there are no
such books,” the audience demurred. Nonplussed, the Englishman produced a booklet on the deeds of
the Apostles which he himself had translated into Romany. “Here is a booklet in your own tongue; I
shall give a copy to anyone who will read a passage for me.” The elders shook their heads – most of
them had never learned to read and, anyway, the whole thing was sheer moonshine. The youngsters,
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 15 (April 2011) Page: 8
9. though a little incredulous and diffident, were more willing – the promise of a free copy was a tempta-
tion. One after the other they set out reading a passage each from the booklet. They read somewhat
haltingly because they had never before seen anything printed in their native tongue, but they succeed-
ed and everybody understood. The little Gipsies were, of course, very proud of their feat and pestered
their English visitor for more books in Romany the whole time he stayed with them.
The “Gypsy school” in Užhorod – around 1930.
From: Йосип Кобаљ - »УЖГОРОД / ВІДОМИЙ ТА НЕВІДОМИЙ« (L’viv, 2008), p. 113.
This English gentleman appears to have hit it off with the Gipsies of Uzhorod. He was repeatedly
invited to their homes – incredibly dirty and wretched hovels – and they treated him like one of their
own. One day, a Gipsy youth asked him whether he was married. The answer being no, the boy pre-
sently introduced him to his sister, a personable girl with deep olive skin and large, flashing brown
eyes. She greeted him with a broad grin of invitation, exposing her ivory teeth. To enhance her value
she produced a handful of coppers, obviously procured by begging, and assured her involuntary and
unwilling suitor that more would be forthcoming. He had a narrow escape for the impending mésalli-
ance.
It has to be pointed out that the girl belonged to a fairly respectable “middle-class” family, as did more
or less all the Gipsies living in special settlements on the outskirts of Uzhorod and other larger towns of
Carpatho-Ukraine. Unlike their nomadic kinsmen who roamed about the country, the settlers were
registered with the police, had their own “mayor” and were, as far as the law was concerned, fully
fledged citizens with the right to vote. They earned their living chiefly as horse-dealers, basket-makers
and inferior masons. Their services were used by the peasants who wanted cheap labour, while town
people refused to employ them. Although only casual labourers, they looked down upon their roving
kinsmen, who had no legal status and lived mainly by begging, thieving and sooth-saying. The class-
superiority of these settlers did not, however, prevent them from supplementing their very meagre
wages by having recourse to less respectable practices. When a Gipsy was hired for work he took his
wife and children with him and they all lent a helping hand; naturally enough, the “helping” hand
sometimes snatched a “stray” hen of which the Gipsies made a very delicious meal.

10. Card with real photo of “gypsies” (from the late 1930’s)
The “Encyclopedia” confirms that relations between Rusyns and their Roma neighbours were diffi-
cult and that there has always been a mutual barrier against intermarriage. But this goes with one
exception: Gypsy/Roma music was a fixed part of each Rusyn wedding and other similar event and
they could not take place without such music.

referenced book, p. 89).

Contributions and Questions
Our two Ukrainian friends from Leeds, GB, are amongst the most devoted critical readers and commen-
tators of our Newsletter and have in many letters to the editor contributed information and colour copies
(and a few questions). The following pages are just a first extract from their much appreciated letters –
would other readers also be so helpful! The Editor.
Does anyone have information on the following stamps – when were they printed and for what
purpose?

A wealth of information was also given on the Sitch and on the (short) history of the Carpatho-
Ukraine as an autonomous province of the First Czechoslovak Republic, especially on the com-
memorative stamps and other traces of the national pride of its inhabitants.
This material merits an article of its own and will be included in one of our next numbers! Look

Another Item from the “Kaiserlich Deutsche Südarmee”
The article by Petr Gebauer in the SCM #014 has found special applause from a number of readers
and has thrown light upon a little-known aspect of Sub-Carpathian postal history in the context of
WWI. And it has helped me to (better) understand one of the items in my “what is this?” box:
Picture postcard, Huszt to Radebaul near Dresden (Germany),
written May 18th, 1915, with circular troops’ mark in violet.
It carries a circular mark “KRIEGSLAZARET HUSZT * | KAISERL. | DEUTSCHE | SÜDARMEE” in violet
and is adressed to Germany; the Austrian (civil) mail accepted it as field post. It seems to indicate
that the German South(ern) Army operated a field hospital in Huszt in May 1915.
The Hungarian historian Horváth Lajos has published another
brochure in his »Kárpátaljai postatörténeti füzetek« series,
i. e., number 8 with the title “A visszafoglalt Kárpátalja 1939
– 1944” [The Re-Occupation of the Kárpátalja 1939 to 1944].
This brochure is more voluminous than ever – with 88 pages
and a lot of illustrations it covers the re-occupation period of
the Kárpátalja from March 15th, 1939, to November 26th, 1944,
and then the loss of this region (nominally to the Czecho-
slovak Republic and factually) to the Soviet Union.
Although completely and exclusively in Hungarian, it is a real
treasure.
I understand this brochure (as the others from the series) can
be bought from our member Gidófalvy Péter (Jószef Attila út
41., 4461 Nyírtelek, Hungary) at a really modest price of just
a few Euros. I can only recommend to quickly get your piece –
it is fully worth its price. (If you have troubles getting a copy,
I can probably help – send me an e-mail.) kb

Provisional Registration Label of Užhorod in 1920
The registered letter shown below was sent from Užhorod to Ružomberok (in Slovakia) on January
23rd, 1920, and carries a provisional registration label with hand-written number:
Front side and reverse of registered letter from Užhorod in January 1920.
This letter belongs to the 2nd period of Czechoslovak postal tariffs (from May 15th, 1919, until
March 14th, 1920) and was obviously from the 2nd weight class (up to 40 grams). The overall fee of
80 hal. is composed of 25 hal. for the domestic letter (first weight class: up to 20 grams) plus
5 hal. for another weight step (of 20 grams) plus 50 hal. for the registration. The Hradčany stamps
on the reverse of the letter were cancelled with the old postmark “UNGVÁR | C 1 C” of Hungarian
origin.

On the Use of Prepared Hungarian Postmarks for Zone 2 in 1939
From his letter (of December 19th, 2010) to the editor:
“Just bought this item at the last Rauch sale. Verleg states this postmark was never used. Dated
16. 3. 1939 at 4pm !”
Remarks by the editor:
Rauch is an auction house in Vienna, Austria. And the text of Jan Verleg that Peter Cybaniak is
referring to is from the monograph, p. 137:
“As mentioned before it is beyond any doubt that in November 1938 Hungary had the intention of
annexing the whole territory of Carpatho-Ukraine, nor did it want to grant any autonomy to the
province, not even linguistically. This intention is also made clear by the postmarks the postal
authorities had prepared before the actual occupation of zone 2. These postmarks were only in the
Hungarian language and were prepared for the following post offices in zone 2. All of them had the
distinguishing letter “A”, except Técsı, which also exists with the letter “B”. These postmarks however
were never used.” [Emphasis by the editor.]
Follows a list of post offices, including “HUSZT”.
There is no such list or remark in Dr. Simády’s »Kárpátalja Postatörténete«, so this is additional
information originating from Jan Verleg. He kindly answered my respective question in an e-mail
as follows:
“For the first time the existence of these date-stamps came to my knowledge when I obtained a copy of
Juan Page’s monograph published by the Czechoslovak Philatelic Society of Great Britain. On page 7 he
mentioned these date-stamps.
As neither Dr. Béla Simády nor Miroslav Blaha made any note on these date-stamps in their respective
books, I asked my tutor, Vladimír Markus in Vienna, about them. Mr. Markus was living in the
Carpatho Ukraine in those days and was a well-reputed philatelist. He confirmed to me the existence of
these date-stamps and mentioned that they were never postally used and only the one of Huszt appears
on philatelic items, always with date “39. III. 16.” and hour “16”.
Upon asking Juan Page where he obtained this information he advised me that during a visit to Dr.
Pálotas he was made aware of these date-stamps. Dr. Pálotas also published in »Philatelica« on the
The Sub-Carpathian Messenger – Number 15 (April 2011) Page: 16
17. subject as far back as 1982. Juan indicated that the cancellers may be in the postal museum in Budapest
at the moment.”
The shown piece indicates that such a postmark existed (which Jan never denied); one can (in my
opinion) not call it a proof for postal use because this piece is certainly not a regular item of the
Hungarian mail.
The other mark on the piece is that of a rubber number cancel (without date) with the (not very
clear) number being 113 or 115. It is probably number 115 which was assigned to Huszt and was in
use [see Verleg, p. 132] from March 24th, 1939, to April 8th, 1939. (Number 113 was assigned to
Szeklence.)
The use of the particular Carpatho-Ukrainian stamp points to Chust/Huszt but whether the “post”-
marks were applied in the post office or somewhere else, and at what time they were applied, is
open to speculation.
In the collection of Juan E. Page we can find a similar item:
The Spanish text tells the same story: cancellers never postally used, now in the postal museum.

On the Question of Currency in the NRZU in 1944/1945 ― continued
In the SCM #013 (page 24) I wrote about this question and reported that I had found an interesting
reference in the »YAMSHCHIK«, the famous newsletter of the Canadian Society for Russian Phila-
tely, edited by Andrew Cronin.
From: »YAMSHCHIK ― The Post-Rider«, nr. 16 (June 1985), page 73.
I then kindly asked for copies of these articles and just a few days later I got a nice e-mail from
Jay T. Carrigan with good scans plus the name and e-mail address of the person within »The Ame-
rican Philatelist« who is responsible for reprints.
Mrs. Barbara Baol gave us the permission to reprint the mentioned articles. Many thanks to Jay for
his quick help and then to »The American Philatelist« for their kind permission. Please find the
article by Dr. J. Lee Shneidman on the next three pages and then the answers of Dr. Simády Béla.
The very clear statement of Dr. Simády was:
“One may read in the literature [i. e., Dr. V. Petretski – the editor] that in those times various currencies
were in circulation in Karpato-Ukraine, namely the Hungarian pengı, the Czech crown, and the Soviet
ruble, but this information is erroneous. The people had only the Hungarian pengı in hand, and had no
other banknotes. No need had been foreseen [by the Czech authorities] to introduce any new currency,
hence the official currency had to be the pengı.”
He also says that the postal service was only reopened by an order of the National Council dated
January 3, 1945, and earlier items show only cancellations to order! New postal rates were also
introduced; these were, however, independent ones, and differed from both the Hungarian and
the Soviet ones. They were as follows:
Interior postal card rate 40 fillér
Interior letter rate 60 fillér
Exterior postal card rate 1 pengı
Exterior letter rate 2 pengı
Local letter rate 40 fillér
Additional fee for registration 1.40 pengı
