Hungary: The Customs and Finance Guard

Hungary Post is marking the 140th anniversary of the foundation of the Customs and Finance Guard by issuing a regular stamp.

The stamp shows the arms on the shako of the Hungarian Royal Finance, Customs and Tax Guard, and the building of the former Customs Palace. In the background there is a detail of a shako and an officer's sword. The first day cover's main motif is a contemporary uniform, while in the background there are documents and other typical motifs. The post-mark shows a stylised officer's shako.
