Death of UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. Two volume holding of (mostly) commemorative issues after his untimely death in 1961. Includes a wide range of stamps including overprints, souvenir sheets and a large study of the controversial US "invert" reprint, including some news clippings and first day covers. These are housed in a White Ace album with additional Vario stocksheets. The second "volume" is a gray slipcover (no binder) with "Ayal" album pages that has some overlap with the first volume but which includes some ephemera and first day covers. An interesting study from a dark part of the "Cold War". Estimate =
