This is a huge collection of stamps with the arms of countries and families, issued around 1900-1920. The total number is not known, the largest collection I have seen on offer had 3800 stamps. The stamps were issued in sheets, which were numbered, but the stamps itself were not numbered. | This is a huge collection of stamps with the arms of countries and families, issued around 1900-1920.

I have no idea how these stamps could be collected. The sheets could be bought for 50 Pfennige and each stamp for 2. But I do not know where, I presume in bookshops or similar all over the country. | I have no idea how these stamps could be collected. The sheets could be bought for 50 Pfennige and each stamp for 2.

The sheets were not always properly perforated, resulting in a number of different formats for the stamps. The actual format should be 4x5.5 cm, but can differ up to 1 cm in width. | The sheets were not always properly perforated, resulting in a number of different formats for the stamps.
