THE ORIGINAL STAMP WAS ISSUED IN 1957 AND THIS COLOUR PROOF WAS ISSUED IN OCTOBER 1958 IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BOOK TO COMMEMORATE THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH POST OFFICE. THE ITEMS ON SALE ARE THE PROOFS AND NOT THE COMPLETE BOOK. THE PROOFS WERE PRINTED BY PWPW (THE NATIONAL PRINTER’S OF POLISH BANKNOTES AND STAMPS) IN WARSAW.
THESE BLACK PROOFS ARE VERY RARELY OFFERED SO DON’T MISS THE CHANCE TO OWN THEM.
PLEASE NOTE scans may be larger than the stamps. Lines on stamps will be due to mounts I use to hold stamps for scanning. Additional scans available on request. Please allow me at least 48 hours before auction close to respond to any questions you have or send additional scans.
