Editorial improvements: The editorial team discovered a number of new varieties in Liechtenstein. Uncut pieces of all stamps appeared in the 1941 issue, promoting local agricultural products. The ‘missing colour’ variety in the block issue for the 1972 LIBA stamp exhibition has now also been verified in used condition. In addition, validity marks have been added to stamps withdrawn between 1967 and 1995.
There are also exciting developments in Austria in terms of varieties: not only are there two new perforation varieties, but also the first variety of a cryptomark. The 2020 Panda souvenir sheet lacks the hot foil stamping. Another special chapter is devoted to unissued stamps. To improve clarity, the two 1945 issues have been revised and extensively illustrated. In the catalogue, the end of validity of Schilling stamps is now given in a footnote for all issues concerned. The same applies to the Schilling stamps of the United Nations, whose official seat is in Vienna.
Good thermals are carrying the 1913 Swiss airmail stamps to higher prices. Also in Switzerland, the editions of another stamp year have been supplemented.
