Ten full panes and one half-pane of mint never hinged German issues from 1956, purchased as an "investment" in 1967 by a German emigre and shipped back to West Germany. Comes with the original shipping envelope, correspondence and tally sheet, indicating a value of over 2000-DM at the time! Each pane has been stored in a page protector, leaving them in very nice condition, with only a bit of minor wrinkling in the selvedge on the odd sheet. The high value of the "Europa" issue is, unfortunately, only a half pane of 25. A couple of the issues have two panes. Total 2024 Scott US$1088.75 =
