Detailed Description
I only sell authentic stamps and covers in my store. Most of my modern stamps are purchased directly from USPS, Royal Mail, Canada Post, Hong Kong Post Office, and authorized dealers of China stamps.
Since I have multiple copies of the same item in my inventory, the image shown is a scan of one of them. If you have any specific questions about the stamp(s), please message me before placing a offer or order.
