Default Russian Blue Stamp

Hello,

I found your group while searching the Internet for image of one
stamp with a particular animal and unfortunately I didn't find it.

Actually the story behind the stamp is not so long so, maybe I will
share it:
There is a breed of cat called Russian Blue. Before 1980s it was
rather unknown in Poland, and in the most of the Europe because the
breed was in reconstruction process after the World War II.
Then one of Polish breeders had friends in USSR and was exchanging
letters with her Russian pen friends.
On one of the envelopes, in middle 1980s she says, she found a post
stamp featuring a grey cat with green eyes. She fell in love with it
and some time later one of the first Russian Blues arrived in Poland.

Unfortunately the stamp vanished and so did the envelope.
For some time I am trying to find the stamp but so far I am not lucky.
I would appreciate ANY kind of help you can offer.
I do not want to buy the stamp, I am only interested in good quality
skan presenting the stamp to go with the text on our cat club website.
www.ruscatclub.prv.pl
Please visit the webpage for the picture of Russian Blue (I don't want
to attach any photo as it is not binary group afaik).
The site is in Polish at the moment but I am preparing the English
version when time permits... It isn't really big or complicated so the
surfing should go smoothly, if anyone gets interested.

And... thank you in advance for any kind of help you can give me...
