Captains Anette and Achim Janowski – anniversary stamp.

In 2006, one of our members and his wife decided to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary with a personalised postage stamp. Achim writes ‘The Austrian Post Office offers such a service where, for a minimum order of 100, you send in or upload a picture of your choice, choose border colour, face value, and so on, and then theyprint the stamps. They are real stamps which can be used for mail from Austria to wherever in the world’.

The stamp details are: Issued in the year 2006 with a circulation of only 100 stamps (no. 8010682). Stamp size is 42 x 35 mm² (1,65 inch x 1,38 inch), face value is 55 Cent. Condition of stamps is MNH.

This is the first such example that we are aware of and copies of this unusual stamp may be ordered from the Editor for £5.00 (US$10.00), including postage.
