Very interesting Liberation set featuring the original 18-page recto (sometimes verso) archive of the Montreuil-Bellay overprint, the printer's certificate of issue signed by the mayor of Saumur on November 23, 1944 and the tax stamps cancelled with official cachet, 3 strips of 10 stamps, including 1 dated corner with different overprints (reversed, RF, on the bdf, or FFI Montreuil-Bellay, groupe de résistance and croix-de-lorraine). The various inks used, the minutes signed by the commander of the resistance group's committee, Mr. Coiffard, the exchange of letters between speakers, the text of the speech on the liberation of this town, and the handwritten document dated September 2, 1944, written by CNL President Eugène Deschamps, demanding an end to the use of Pétain-type stamps without patriotic overprints. Finally, there's a typed summary of resistance operations in the area, and all the related historical background. In addition, there is 1 superb full sheet of 100 copies of No. 1 of the liberation of Chalons Reims (Marne), with the characteristic R.F. overprint and dated corner (reference 4000e).
