"APS@Stampex" display list

Back to APS@Stampex

Most of these displays belong to members of the Austrian Philatelic Society; the rest to our Partner society in Innsbruck, Austria. Each member "collects what they want and displays it as they choose" – this was not a competition and no uniformity of style was enforced! The frames from Innsbruck (apart from Kitzbühel) are "Austrian standard" which is 12 sheets of A4 per frame. They are written up in German; a synopsis is provided.
