The 1945 PAX (peace, end of WWII) 10Fr Block of 4

This set (Michel Mi447-459) is MINT, in BLOCKS OF 4. Each block is attached to a card utilising the top edge adhesive of the top pair of stamps. This does not detract from the look of the stamps. The bottom pair are unmounted mint. The folder is incomplete but the pages are clean and sound and may be suitable for re-binding.

Switzerland, 1924, Mi192a, fu. This is rather interesting as the stamp was oficially issued on the 9th October, 1924. However, This example was clearly postmarked weeks earlier on the 24th September 1924! Very un-usual for the normally, highly efficient Swiss postal authorities.
 
A real bargain at just £35
