Made in Malta - The Malta Stamp Collection Album 1964 - 2004
To celebrate the accession of Malta to the European Union on 1 May 2004, Malta's Philatelic Bureau released a precious selection of Maltese stamps. This exquisite collection, limited to 4,500 copies, contains nearly all the stamps from this period in mint condition issued by the Republic of Malta from the time it declared independence in 1964 through to its EU Accession in 2004.
This album represents a fantastic opportunity for those unfamiliar with Malta’s philatelic history to grow their appreciation. This breathtaking album is housed in a 380-page cloth bound volume, specially designed hagner folder, to preserve your stamps and complete in its own limited edition box. The stamps have been sourced and hand collated from Malta’s own vaults and other sources.
