First Day Covers

Set in Minisheet perforated and imperforated

In my opinion, this is the most interesting release of the year 2017. Very useful images about unknowns and uncommon lighthouses.
A letter with some of these stamps on the cover will be a great item for a collection.

Thanks to the site     https://www.original-briefmarken.de/   for the images

Thank you very much to Reto for the alert and congrats for this great find.
