Description
Highly unusual 1965 EUROPA CEPT first day combination cover featuring the Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands EUROPA stamps together on one “Drei Länder Ecke” cover, commemorating the famous three-country corner where Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands meet.
The cover includes an old typed collector/dealer note stating: “Only 25 exist europa combination 1965 FD Germany, FD Belgium, FD Netherlands. All on same cover.” While the edition-size claim is presented as supplied with the item, it is a strong provenance clue and makes this a particularly appealing specialist cover for EUROPA, first day cover, border history, and three-country postal history collectors.
Key features:
* 1965 EUROPA CEPT issue with matching design theme across three countries
* First day combination cover with Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands stamps on one cover
* “Drei Länder Ecke 1965” cachet, referencing the historic three-country border point
* Includes the old typed note stating only 25 examples exist
* Attractive crossover collectible for EUROPA CEPT, Benelux, German, Dutch, Belgian, and tripoint postal history collectors
Condition is good overall with light age and handling wear, minor corner/edge wear, and faint reverse smudging. Stamps are intact and tied by cancellations. The back is plain with no additional printed maker information visible. Please view all the photos.
