This is an original vintage Ethiopian Red Cross (Croix Rouge) stamp sheet, featuring the 5 centimes green issue depicting a nurse holding a child — a powerful symbol of humanitarian care.

The sheet includes a striking red “V” overprint across each stamp, believed to be associated with a later reissue or validation period following Ethiopia’s post-war recovery era under Emperor Haile Selassie.

Such overprinted sheets are increasingly sought after by collectors of:

  • “1945 Victory Overprint Ethiopian Red Cross Sheet”
  • “Complete sheet (not individual stamps)”
  • “Haile Selassie era postal history”

    • The stamps remain attached in a complete sheet, making this piece more desirable than individual examples.

    Condition: Vintage condition with visible age-related toning. Please review images carefully.

    A meaningful collectible that reflects Ethiopia’s historical resilience and global humanitarian connection
