Denmark – Scott #s 742-44, used

Description

This is a used three-stamp set from Denmark, Scott #742–744, issued in 1986 to commemorate Danish rescue services (Redningstjeneste). The series highlights the coordinated work of emergency and lifesaving organizations operating on land, sea, and along Denmark’s extensive coastline.

Each stamp uses bold, graphic imagery to represent a different facet of rescue operations:
