HISTORICAL EXPLANATION - This note was issued in 1918 just before the end of World War One.  Later in 1920 Itzehoe was to be part of the Referenda held in towns and Cities of Schleswig-Holstein following the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, where the people on both sides of the German/Danish border were allowed to vote on the issue of whether they were to be governed in the future by Germany or Denmark. According to the official poll, in Zone 2, Central Schleswig, over 80% of the inhabitants voted for remaining part of Germany and fewer than 20% voted for the cession to Denmark. Itzehoe was designated as within Zone 3, south of Zone 2 and a vote there was deemed not necessary, as the vast majority of inhabitants were German, indeed even before the 1920 Schleswig Plebiscites, Itzehoe which was well south of Schleswig, was part of Germany. These Notes only CIRCULATED FOR A RELATIVELY BRIEF PERIOD, so are therefore generally quite scarce and sought after.

Please note that as a matter of course I do not now post to some countries where the postal system seems to be unreliable. Therefore, those buyers from RUSSIA, CHINA, INDIA, BANGLADESH, PAKISTAN, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, VIETNAM, SAUDI ARABIA, MEXICO & CHILE who wish to bid on my notes will have to contact me first and be aware that any items won will be sent by chargeable INSURED TRACKABLE postage.

I always combine postage and shipping on more than one item won .  If you think my postage and shipping charges are unreasonable then please contact me before you make a bid.

NB . Please do not pay until you receive my invoice, especially if you have won more than one item, as I always combine the postage packing and shipping costs, so that you save on postage.

A note about feedback

I do not wait for you to leave Feedback for me like some sellers do, so Transactions will receive positive feedback soon after payment is made. I strive to earn 100% perfect 'five-star' scores from you, my customer. The star scores are very important because eBay uses them to determine the visibility of my items in search results. So, before you leave your Feedback for me, if anything about the transaction did not meet your expectations, please let me know and at least give me the chance to put things right, before leaving negative Feedback or contacting eBay.

Always contact me first before contacting eBay or opening a case, I will always help, I will block bidders who open cases without contacting me first!

PLEASE NOTE ALL ITEMS ARE NOW MAILED FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION IN ITALY, posted the same day that payment is received or the next working day after payment, if made at the weekend. When I am in the UK, I may post from there. Some deliveries may take longer than normal to arrive, this is not my fault, merely the result of the RECENT problems since March 2020, experienced within the International Postal System !   

Although now, despite the International being almost back to normal again, there still can be the odd delay to some destinations.
