About us and the Newsletter
The Study Circle is (was) 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 ЗАКАРПАТТЯ, 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. In the last years we have always produced at least four
issues per year but may not be able to keep this high level due to a substantial lack of
contributions. On the other hand, as we can see from the access counts at the public web
site, this Newsletter is read by hundreds of people.
When meeting our Hungarian colleague and friend JAKAB András during the International
Philatelic Exhibition in Essen (Germany), he asked me why not continue the Sub-Carpathian
Messenger. The “public” interest, he said, would be there. My answer, of course, was: I have
no interest in writing all articles myself.
Few pieces of interest have come up since I terminated my engagement in this Newsletter
five years ago. But there is one development which causes me to break my stopover: Just
these days the Jiří MAJER collection of Carpatho-Ukraine 1944-1945 is offered at Raritan
Stamps Inc. (auction #98). This is an opportunity not to be missed.
Distribution method

Letter from Polena, 22 September [1862], to Bodrog Szerdahely
From the collection of JAKAB András

Main field post office #5 (for 7th Army) in Huszt
From the collection of Helmut Kobelbauer
Two picture cards from Main Field Post Office number 5 (for the 7th Army), 1st December
1916, to Rákoscsaba. With military cachet “K. u. k. Bahnhofkommando | HUSZT” in violet.
We take these pieces as a (possible) proof that the main field post office of the 7th Army was
(at least for a short period of time) in Huszt. The (more general) catalogues locate the army
headquarters in Galicia and Bukovina without any details.

K. u. K. Krankenhalte-Station DOMBO
Field post card from Dombo, 13rd March 1917, to Vienna. Military cachet “K. U. K. |
KRANK.HALT.STAT. | DOMBO” in blue. From the collection of Jakab ANDRÁS.

Raritan auction #98 (November 29-30, 2023): The Jiří MAJER collection of Carpatho-Ukraine
1944-1945. Catalogue with 4+172 pages.

In addition to that, Mr. Majer was also (at least to the best of my knowledge) the proud
owner of the respective collections of Miroslav BLAHA, Jan VERLEG, and Dr. Walter RAUCH.
It is not known what became of these collections.

All given values are in USD; for the sold items one has to add 15 per cent as commission for
the auction house.
I would consider the results of this auction as disappointing. Only the postal history lots were
sold (nearly) all, the inverted overprint stamps (although one of the favourite features of
this area of Mr. Majer) haven’t done well at all. Also for many offerings there was just one
bidder so the competition was definitely weak.
The single lot which achieved the highest price was lot #499 with a result of 4.250 USD (plus
15 per cent). As a postal history item it is one of many to the address of Hynek Hloušek in
Užhorod. Mr. Majer described the tariff as 0.60 for the letter and 1.20 as recommendation
fee. The provisional date stamp is of 1945, June 14th.
For lot #565 the sales value was 8.500 USD (plus 15 per cent) which is surprising: until now
postal items from the Soviet issues period were – more or less – neglected. In general, this
period (1945 till 1992) is/was not considered “collectable” although even in duration it is
the longest in the 20th century.
