Liechtenstein – Scott # 505

Description

Liechtenstein — Vaduz Stamp Exhibition Souvenir Sheet (Scott 505)

This mint never hinged souvenir sheet from the Principality of Liechtenstein, cataloged as Scott #505, was issued in 1972 to commemorate the Liechtenstein National Stamp Exhibition (Liechtensteinische Briefmarkenausstellung) held in Vaduz.

The sheet contains two scenic landscape stamps depicting historic churches and castles set against alpine backdrops. Printed in contrasting blue-gray and red tones, the designs highlight Liechtenstein’s architectural heritage and mountainous terrain. The exhibition emblem and date “1972” appear above the stamps, with the event title printed below, integrating the philatelic theme directly into the sheet layout.

Designed by J. Seger and printed by Courvoisier S.A., the souvenir sheet reflects Liechtenstein’s high production standards, with sharp engraving, balanced composition, and generous margins. The perforated stamps are surrounded by an unperforated border, emphasizing the presentation format typical of exhibition issues.

Offered in mint never hinged condition with full original gum, the sheet is clean and well-preserved, with fresh color and no handling faults. A desirable item for collectors of Liechtenstein, souvenir sheets, stamp exhibitions, or alpine landscape issues.
