Greek Airmail Stamps of 1935

Here are my current used copies from this set. I will hope to get better copies in time but I’m posting these just to show the fine artwork of the engravings. I really enjoy this set and five of the stamps of this stamp were re-engraved and issued from 1937-39. Click on Images to Enlarge.
