CZECHOSLOVAKIA

"This is another country for which I am sure that there is much more to be discovered."

Updates. The above was written by Steve Hiscocks. I have added a few new ones.
Czechoslovakia came into existence in 1918 with the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
It was formed from the Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia, the former Austrian controlled part of
Silesia, and Hungarian Slovakia.
It was under Nazi control from 1938-45 when it was known as the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Czechoslovakia was under communist control from 1961-89 and existed until 1/1/1993.
I have moved the double-headed eagles accordingly.
No pricing as yet.
