Commenti	Syria's 1945 fiscal stamps occupy an awkward administrative moment — the country was technically under French Mandate authority until April 1946, yet the Syrian Republic had been formally proclaimed in 1941. Notes and stamps issued under the Republic's name during 1944–45 were deliberate assertions of administrative independence, produced while French troops were still on Syrian soil and tensions were escalating toward the violent confrontations of May 1945. Tax stamps of this period are underrepresented in most collections precisely because they were consumed in use — affixed to documents, cancelled, and discarded.
