This one is definitely a head-scratcher. Here is my WAG -- US Scott 3504, a joint issue with Sweden on March 22, 2001. Sweden's issue included 3 other Nobel prize-related, Slania-engraved stamps (Scott 2415a-d).  |

I'm waiting for a clue on the specific scientist - according to Wikipedia, 30 different scientists have won the Nobel Prize for RNA biology. There is a Swedish stamp for Nobel Prize winners in Physiology for their studies in squid nerve axons, but that stamp was engraved by Martin Mörck ...

OK, kind of tricky - a joint stamp issue, so perhaps stamps from both Spain & Sweden will qualify? Celebrating the 1906 & 1959 Nobel prize winners Dr. Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Dr. Severo Ochoa for their respective work in neuroscience ("axon") and molecular biology ("RNA"). Stamps engraved by Czesław Słania, images nabbed from Ann Mette Heindorff's excellent website on Slania engravings.   Ryan |

Sorry no; but remember that bagpipes do not necessarily implicate Scotland or it's progeny - they have the best publicists, but bagpipes have been used for centuries throughout Europe and the middle east: |

Well I have to admit Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a great movie. Rod (and others) I think you should check it out.

Beer Hall Augustin and Rooty-Toot Fancy-Pants Augustin. And believe it or don't, there is a fine website for bagpipe stamps. Check this page and this page for info on the two Austrian stamps to feature Augustin (yes, they have two!). The second link has full info on the story (and how it relates to both the plague and the bagpipe).  Ryan |

If it had been needed the next clue would have been "Pfeiler", which would have distinguished between the two, but Steve was too good No5 is coming up...I did not have time to figure one out yesterday, sorry about that. |
