With these stamps the Liechtenstein Post celebrates together with the two chess clubs of Liechtenstein in Vaduz and Triesen and thus the Liechtenstein Chess Federation its 50th anniversary.

The first cover of November is again a cover from Liechtenstein. It is a registered letter from Triesenberg (LI) to Altsätten (CH) dated 12 Feb. 1933.

As the cover of the month, I have chosen this time a beautiful set letter from 1930. The letter was sent on 29.10.1930 from Triesen (FL) to Amsterdam. The registered letter is franked with the set of postage stamps from 1930 (designed by Hermann Clemens Kosel). Although registered, I assume that it was nevertheless overstamped Read More …
