Lot 11 H1001 — Korean War Veterans — 7/26/85

The hand painted cachet is very dramatic. A map of Korea is surrounded by naval ships, sabre jets, a helicopter, a tank, and GI's manning an anti-aircraft gun. After buying the stamps in Washington, DC on day of issue, it was off to Battle Ground, Indiana for a perfect Collins exclusive first day postmark. A great military cover and hard to find.
