Additional Information The majority of the circulation was handed over to the Bulgarian P.T.T. stations opened in Bucharest and Bra-ila (where the headquarters of the allies were located), as well as in the Romanian territories in Dobrudja occupied by the Bulgarian troops. They were used for the correspondence of the local population with Bulgaria. Brands with a horizontally or vertically shifted overprint are found. With a significant horizontal shift, the overprint falls on two adjacent stamps in the sheet, with the years "1916-1917" on the left edge of the stamps and the text "Post in Romania" on the right. In these cases, only the years or only the text appear on the stamps from the final vertical columns of the postal sheet. There are also stamps with the years overprinted on the left and right, and the text in the middle. Due to the rapid printing and simple typographic set, there are a significant number of errors in the text and the years of the overprint. From 113 and 114 exist with "1919-1917" instead of "1916-1917" and from 114 - with "1619-1917" instead of "1916-1917" and the prices of these varieties vary between 20.00 - 40.00.
