Postage Stamp Chat Board & Stamp Bulletin Board Forum
 

Can anyone tell me how to get albums or album pages for Swiss soldier stamps? How about pages that include the mini sheets? (not available seems to be the common response) .

I ran across somewhat that said they bought a collection on album pages, so I have always believed they existed. Thanks for any input.

Greetings yellowdog7, and welcome to Stampboards! Why not introduce yourself here: http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10277

In answer to your question, perhaps can you get selected pages of Swiss albums covering only certain war years when the stamps were printed? For example pages covering from 1914-1918, etc...

I'm no expert on these things, but the designs do look great. Came across this little article on them, you may be interested:

Anyway, I'm sure they must exist and can be got somewhere. Alternatively, you could try making your own album pages, as some of the members here sometimes do.

Hi yellowdog7,

As far as I know, no album has ever been printed for Switzerland's "Soldaten Stamps"

I am a member of the Swiss Stamp Forum "Basler Taube" and will ask my friends there if they can be of any help.
swiss_martin, living in Embrach Switzerland is also a member of above and also here on stampboards, I am sure he will give us an educated answer!

Cheers for now

Peter

yellowdog7!



An email from swiss_martin, a specialst collector, confirming that no album vor Swiss Soldiers stamps exist arrived .....today!

If I find some more information. I will let you know here on this thread!

Peter

Thanks for all the guidance and the link to the article. I have the catalogue shown in the article, but the article indicates that there are a limitless number of these stamps. No wonder no one has attempted to make album pages!! Please keep looking, and maybe someone can come up with the holy grail!!
