Re dating: as the name "Bohemia" is of German origin, it is extremely likely
that the original comment about place names was correct. The Czech name for
Bohemia is "Cechy", with a hook over the first C. The only reason for using a
"Bohemia" stamp after 1918 would be economy, and quite probably national pride
would have prevailed over it.
