Another item from my Airmail collection which I am in process of restoring.
A 1933 Vienna Austria Postcard 4 Countries Flight postcard Robert Kronfeld Pilot Signed postcard. Austria, Hungary, Italy and Switzerland.
When I acquired this postcard it was in appalling condition with a large block of stamps stuck on the front torn and tatty. Over the years I have very slowly and extremely carefully removed most of the adhesion, I still have some left to go. It is painstaking work by having to remove a few fibres at a time without disturbing the print underneath. For an unsigned card I would not bother doing this but the sign ones are highly sort after.
