MONS NEWS:- Spring 2017

Site News:- Spring 2017
I'm making regular 'new' listings, 'Little & Often' to my site sales pages !
Mons' is always happy to receive the offer of surplus to collection items, either as part exchanges or direct purchase. (As long as a seller is happy / can comply with my buy in regime, see terms 'Buying In').
The 'house-keeping chores' I have started to carry out are on going, with some being a little more time consuming than I would have liked / expected; the organisation of new stock being the worst offender in this respect. It is something that I MUST however do before stock becomes unmanageable.
I have a good number of 'interesting' items to list, so continued site viewing is as ever encouraged.
Site promotion via social media and attendance at militaria fairs is bringing to Mons' new site viewers, buyers and sellers alike.
....'Busy times-ahead, and much too do'....and its only me doing it, so in 'all' matters please do bare with me.....

'Hope to hear from you soon' !

Regards....Richard

GERMAN:- THIRD REICH, RETURN of the SAAR-LAND PROPAGANDA 'STAMP'

A mint condition (un-used) propaganda stamp 'used' in the promotion and 'push' for the return of the Saar-land to German, Third Reich rule after its confiscation under the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations Mandate from 1920 onward.
The Saar district was a very important coal producing area on the Franco-German border.
Its return to the Reich, "Heim zum Reich" campaign was the first step that Nazi Germany took in ending the 'heavy handed' Treaty at the end of WW1 penalising Germany in reparations for the 'monetary cost' of the war.
This is a paper item intended for 'the moment'. Items such as this were not manufactured with longevity in mind. Its like (and similar items of what ever nationality) are of immence historic value, a statement of the times and place they are from !
A superb moment in time item....the only one of its type I have ever encountered !
