Always did like this issue, remember it from schoolboy days, believe there was another thread that mentioned some were hard to find.
Thanks for posting.
These are great, Mitchell!
Thanks for posting them!!
Absolutely stunning. A very handsome set. I have all but 2, all with WIEN postmarks. Starting an Innsbruck canceled set then on to Salzburg. Thank-you for posting this lovely set.

There are some ( unlisted ?) shade differences in this issue. They were current for a long time !

Hey Mitch.
I think one of the nice things about your posts is that they focus on the "collection" aspect - and completing related sets - moreso than the "financial value".
I think most of these stamps have limited CVs, but this issue is a great example of attractive stamps that provide an insight on an aspect of Austria's culture and their representation at that time in history.
I haven't looked at my own paltry collection (but will do so now) - but vaguely recall - are there some perf/watermark variations?
Cheers, Dave.
One of the more popular sets from Austria is this 1948-52 set. I've think I've had it used since I was a kid but never all mint. The other day I got a lot that had most of the mint stamps I was missing. Still missing 5 mint but I think it makes a nice showing.
