Swiss EMS stamps

A rare set of (I am told Swiss) EMS
(Express Mail Service) stamps can be seen at:
http://www.railphilatelist.com/jpg/cindy/swse.jpg

They are imperf and self stick.

Shown are the Sydney Harbour Bridge and
Opera House (Worldwide), the Tower Bridge,
London (Europe) and the Golden Gate Bridge
(USA + Canada).

The set currently sells for about $140.00 US.

It would be nice if we could honour the architect
of the Opera House.
What a simply beautiful building that is.
I was completing my apprenticeship during the construction
and always loved it, even amongst the then, criticism.
Bravo Mr. Utzon.

I'm not sure that they are Swiss, and I wonder why are they so expensive.

Something about the EMS (but not enough) can be found on:
