Foreign Language Packs
(and Welsh !)

These have been issued from time to time by the Post Office, often to promote sale through foreign agents. If our "language" column states simply the language, then the pack is printed in that language. If we state "insert" then it is the normal English-language pack with an insert in the other language. Some of these were produced in surprisingly low numbers, and where known we have quoted these figures. (We have no idea of the numbers produced of the packs with inserts, but presume that they were on the whole smaller productions than the proper foreign language packs. Some are very scarce - we have never had any of the Dutch ones !  Demand however is also somewhat limited.)
