Do you think many of the Nazis were stamp collectors, especially of
Britain? Hitler did want Britain on his side. Hmmm... Very
interesting border.

Kind of bizarre how people come up with those borders, such as early
France and some early Romania sharing a very similar border on the
monarchy stamps.

Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the
Neolithic period. Swastikas as decorations are THOUSANDS of years
old (long before Hitler) . The albums illustrated by Rod were
printed
well before 1933.

Tracy, I'm not aware of early Romania stamps with swastikas on them. Have
you some examples (scans), please. TIA.

No, that's not what I meant. I meant that France and Romania shared
the same type of border, not swastikas.

Hi Victor,
I am not answering for Tracy, but I took him
to mean the "castling" bordering many early stamps,
the design being ubiquitous across many countries.

Many countries seemed to have followed the early French Ceres design,
and why not? a very attractive series.

Yes, that's it. Argentina did on some of the locals...

It is really sad that events of the 20th century had to take that rather
interesting geometric shape (and such a wonderful 'good luck' symbol in so
many cultures, especially in Asia) and so thoroughly destroy it....

:-(

Unfortunately, there are many such examples, and they can be easily found on
stamps too. Among the extensevely used are the symbols "Hammer & Sickle" and
the "Red Star":

Also the old symbol of peace, the Dove, was often misused during the 20th
century by the so-called peace movements ("better red then dead" in W.
Germany, etc.)
