Author	Topic: H.R. Pfau's Soviet space stamp catalogues
Axman Member Posts: 127 From: Derbyshire UK Registered: Mar 2023	posted 08-24-2023 12:29 PM Can anybody please tell me, what are the contents of H.R. Pfau's catalogues? I know there are four volumes, but are they divided by year? by cities? by subject?

This second part describes the side-postmarks (Nebenstempel), vignettes and letters edited in the Soviet Union on the occasion of spaceflight activities. This fourth part describes the postcards, picture postcards and maximum cards edited in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the site does not provide a description of the third volume.
