The Stamp Day minisheet features LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin which operated commercially from 1928 to 1937.

Great thread guys keep it up please
I collect zeppelins myself but I inly have this scan ready to go

Lawrence,

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm pretty sure that Polarfahrt stamp is a forgery. The perfs are wrong.

Oh dear!

That puts a damper on things!
Lucky I have other Zeppelin's to look at, I'll have to look into it further as it came up as a bargain and I grabbed it straight away!

Cheers
