Description
Issued in 1928 during the League of Nations administration of the Saar Territory, Saar Scott #76 is a pictorial definitive stamp depicting a scenic view of the Saar River and bridge, framed by ornate classical borders. This design marked a stylistic shift from earlier Germania issues toward imagery emphasizing the region’s landscape and civic identity.
The stamp bears the overprint “SAARGEBIET” across the top, identifying its use within the Saar Territory during the interwar period. Printed in blue and engraved with fine horizontal line work, the design combines architectural detail with decorative flourishes typical of late 1920s European stamp production.
Saar #76 forms part of the Saar pictorial definitive series issued prior to the 1935 plebiscite that returned the territory to Germany, making it a representative issue of Saar’s mature postal period under international administration.
This example is offered used, with a clear cancellation, intact perforations, and strong overall eye appeal.
