<a href=https://www.merkurphila.at/auction>64. Merkurphila Stamp Auction</a><br> On the first day of the auction, we are auctioning an impressive selection of classical Austrian philately and postal history. As always, with a focus on the first issue of 1850, but also showcasing a beautiful part of postal history from the later issues up to 1867 and unused stamps from the late issues of the monarchy and the First Republic. The resolution of the important collection of landscape series after 1945 by Dr. Stepniczka marks the beginning of the second auction day, which will again be rounded off with unused varieties and postal history of the Second Republic. We wish you much enjoyment in browsing and great success in participating in the auction!

The gold-awarded object by Dr. Heinrich Stepniczka!
The postage stamp issues Colorful and Orange Landscape.<br> Foreword by Dr. Werner Glavanovitz:<br> Heinrich Stepniczka is actually known as an expert and one of the greatest Austrian collectors of Lombardy Venetia. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the early nineties as a member of the philatelic society Vindobona. Even back then, he began to complement the rather expensive pieces from the classics with a modern area. “Postage stamps from the landscape series 1945 onwards!” As an eager and precise collector, he was not only interested in the creation of stamps and postal stationery in all their facets but also in their usage.
