The international competitive exhibition “Postal History – Live” has been an integral part of the International Stamp Fair for decades and a must-attend event for exhibitors and collectors from all over the world interested in postal history. Inseparably linked to the PGL, as it is abbreviated among connoisseurs, is the Postal History Symposium, in which speakers from Germany and abroad present individual aspects of postal history in short but concise lectures.
This year, the competitive exhibition is again very extensive with 312 frames. The total of almost 50 collections again promises a high standard and a wide range. No easy task for the international jury chaired by Thomas Höpfner to select the aspirants for the coveted Golden, Silver and Bronze Posthorns. As an introduction for interested visitors, Class 4.6 is recommended, in which a selected topic of postal history is presented in just one frame.
Interested collectors can obtain information at the stand of the Deutscher Altbriefsammler-Verein (DASV), which has accompanied and supported postal history events for years. Information stands will also be maintained by the Swiss Association for Postal History and the Saxony Research Association, which together with the DASV will form a block in Hall 2.
