Description
Issued in 1928 during the League of Nations administration of the Saar Territory, Saar Scott #78 is a high-value pictorial definitive featuring a monumental statue overlooking an industrial and river landscape. The design reflects the economic and civic identity of the Saar Basin, emphasizing labor, industry, and regional strength rather than allegorical figures.
The stamp is overprinted “SAARGEBIET” in a bold cartouche at the top, clearly marking its use within the Saar Territory during the interwar period. Richly engraved with dense horizontal line work and decorative framing, the design is more elaborate than the lower-value pictorials in the same series.
With its 1.25 Mark denomination, Scott #78 represents one of the higher values of the Saar pictorial definitive series and is a key component for collectors assembling a complete Saar set from this period.
This example is offered unused, hinged, with original gum present, a light hinge mark, intact perforations, and strong overall eye appeal.
