7.2 ... in difficult times Scouts have delivered the mail often at danger to themselves
Under the leadership of
Josef Rossler Orovsky,
President of the Czech
Association of Scouts
(Junak), official mail was
di stributed between the
Prague city hall, the
police, the parliament
and the railway station.

Pittermann category I cover
(authentic). A special method
of producing the stamps for
this service included printing
from a typographed plate with
the perforations and the
embossing all made in the
same impression, resulting in
printing colour on the
simulated perforations.

Pittermann category I cover (authentic). The cover was sent from Ritschka on 3 November, and forwarded by Czech Scouts. The
Service Regulations for the Czech Scout deliveries of letters and documents were not yet issued. These regulations described that
the Scout delivery stamp should have been cancelled with a "POSTA SKA UTU" cancel, and the "N. V" cancel struck on the envelope.

Each letter was actually "Registered mail", since they were first signed by the Scout
postman, and the receiver was also required to sign in his own name in a signature book; or
sign on the envelope, remove the contents, and return the envelope to the scout as a receipt.
