Forerunner or Provisional Stamps ?

This proposal relates to an article on German Souther Moravia Province– see its wording .

At the moment all the stamps coming from German Provinces are counted into Czechoslovak forerunner stamps with justification, that on the territories no Czechoslovak authorities existed.

This is right statement, but it doesn´t take into consideration, why the authorities don´t exist. If because no Czechoslovak state existed (like Austrian stamp by Oct. 27, 1918) or because the Czechoslovak state existed, but postal employees of some post offices refused to serve to him and took an oath to other state (like Austrian stamps used on post offices belonging to German Provinces).

Mixure of both reasons to one group makes the situation unclear and doesn´t enable easy description of existing entires .

Fig. 1 – Parcel dispatch note sent from  Znojmo / Znaim (Deutschsüdmähren Province) to Schloss Rosenau (Austria) in Nov. 1918: a mixed franking of provincial stamps with Austrian postage due one (fee paid for home delivery of the parcel) . Using the existing vocabulary, this is just a parcel dispatch note franked with Austrian forerunner stamps – but the description covers the reality of the entire !

My proposal solves the problem by creating new term ”provincialni znamky” (provincial stamps) for the stamps/postal stationary used at the post offices belonging to the German provinces on Czechoslovak territory existing from Oct. 27, 1918 to Dec. 1918.
