I have just updated stampulator for Royal Mail 2023 pricing.
It's a free web app that works out which combinations of 1st and 2nd class stamps you need for large letters and parcels.

Elements of the Polish 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade under Stalisław Maczek survived both the German invasion and the Battle of France & were reconstituted in Scotland. .

The First Armoured Division (1. Dywizja Pancerna) in Britain, under the command of General Stanisław Maczek, was finally formed 25 February 1942.

This 1941 of the exile forces celebrated the early reconstituted armoured units

The iconic Castle (Hradčany) became a patriotic symbol and thus featured on the 1st of the republic in 1918.

The creator was Alfons Mucha. Famed in the west for his French Art Nouveau designs, he saw himself as a patriot and designed stamps, banknotes, and even the coat of arms for the new state.

The vista was a common one, but note the similarity between the stamp, Marie Jančáková-Přibilová's greeting and a New Year's card that I inherited.

There is a guy who sells antique stamp lots on eBay and I swear it's like crack. I can never walk away without spending at least $100. But I justify it because some of the stuff he sells below face value. SOME of the stuff... haha
