Sorry if this set was already posted- there are already 18 pages in this thread! One of my favorite sets of all time and very expensive when I was first collecting in the 1970s. Over time it came back down to earth and I was able to add a set to my collection.  |

Gorgeous set and great examples of high quality engraving. The 20f looks like it may have a constant plate flaw- a large dot by the "M" of Mali. Thanks for sharing, will put this set on my wants list! |
