Europe, its Past and Present Condition. 

An important discovery listed in Briefphila has been called to our attention by Bud Hennig and is translated in Section 2. Somehow, an older post card slipped into the press when the November 1920 overprints were run, resulting in this rarity.

Section 3 in this issue is a first for the Danzig Report. Color is necessary to illustrate the many variations of the 1921 Coat of Arms issue. If this set is among your specialties, please send in your findings. The varieties are presented without comment, other than a general description. This may turn out to be the most expensive “printers’ waste” since Gutenberg’s floor was swept.

Europe, its Past and Present Condition is the Home Encyclopedia article printed in Section 4. Gene Marshall sent it in to give us a view of Danzig, etc., in mid-18th Century eyes.

Coats of Arms Issue questions are asked by Frank Prosser. These are the ones from Mi. 193 & ending at 273. How do you arrange them? It appears that, with a couple of exceptions, one may divide them into an “early issue’ (white paper: 1924-1933) and a “later issue” (yellow paper: 1935-1937). Is the following a reasonable and historically meaningful arrangement? WAS IST ?

If you have any comments be grateful to hear them.
