**Historical Context:**
A fantastic historical artifact from the early days of the Cold War. 
Following the Western currency reforms of June 1948, the Soviet postal administration rapidly overprinted existing stocks of the Berlin Bear stamps to enforce regional postal control. This intact block features a clean, central circular postmark that perfectly preserves the piece as a complete four-stamp multiple.

**Condition Report:**
An intact used block of four in great vintage condition. Perforations are clean and fully intact around all borders, with deep, crisp ink registration on the black overprint. The central postal cancel is neatly struck without completely blanketing the design.

The block pictured is the exact item you will receive. Safely packaged with heavy cardboard backing to guarantee safe transit.
