And one Military FDC with First Day cancellation dated as « 1969 1st Feb. » which is 21 days earlier than Scott or Stanley Gibbons (issue date « ‘1969 22nd Feb. » – Sc M3, SG SMF330); also 1970s Documentary from Philatelic Bulletin, 1972 Quang Trung leaflet with painter’s signature, 1973 Government Officials and Diplomats commemorative with President Nguyen Van Thieu’s signature, 1975 Last letters of Republic of Vietnam. Plus a lot of interesting postmarks, which include h/s special framed chops, Propaganda chop, either on air mail or reg’d covers. A few returned to sender covers, Postage Paid meter covers, Postage Due covers, Thematic or Topical covers. Some duplicates, and a few covers toned but harmless to the stamps. An excellent subject in such a massive collection in one go, but at the same time also good for breaking down. Viewing highly recommended
