Description

This Belgium stamp was issued in 1940 as part of a semi-postal issue.

5087: Belgium 1940 "Queen Elisabeth Music Foundation" Stamps. Signed By Queen Elisabeth of Belgium

Superb semi-postal set of stamps to commemorate and support the Queen Elisabeth Music Foundation. These stamps were not released for postal use, but were sold to advance subscribers either in mint or cancelled to order. This example is set neatly on embossed royal headed paper with a hand written inscription in French and German, signed below by Queen Elisabeth in 1940. At the bottom right, the number "431" is shown implying a run of less than 1000 copies. It is not known if each copy was signed, however other non-signed examples are known, with this example being the only signed example. Please view scans and images closely.
