scans for two very rare SOS - the Hungary #C95 rose-lilac perf and inperf
s/s - only 1060 sets were given out to officials and exhibitors at the 1951
80th Anniversary of Hungary Stamps Exhibition. Scott notes 1200 were issued,
but Michel and a specialized Hungarian catalog both give the lower figure; the
balance of the special printing not distributed was destroyed after the
exhibition. These sheets had franking value, and in addition to a mint set, I
also have both sheets on registered, flown and back stamped first day covers in
my collection. I was told that possibly only two or three sets on cover
might exist, but in the 40+ years I have owned them, I have never seen or heard
of another set of covers being offered.

cover?
When the Hungarian post
decided to issue the three stamps (Sc #973, #B207-8)
and souvenir sheets (Sc #C95.CB13-14) issued for the
80th Anniversary of the First Hungarian Stamp as a set with a First Day cancel
of October 6, 1951, ignoring the fact that one stamp(Sc
# 973) and s/s (Sc # C95) had previously been issued
on September 12, 1951.
I have the full set on four
flown, registered and back stamped covers and a # 973 single on cover-- all with
the October 6 date and the diamond shaped four language
first day imprint. The last I bought--with a very poor scan, described as a fdc with no date given--and
I expected the 9/12 cancel. When I got the 10/6 cover, I advised it wasn't the first day and wanted a refund; the dealer
refused to do so, claiming the cover said "First Day"--so lesson
learned: be sure of what you are buying.
The earlier date fdcs are rare; I've never seen an offer for the #C95 s/s,
but did eventually find two different 9/12 fdcs
for # 973. Both were mailed to NYC-- a registered cacheted
cover has the single 60f stamp on the face, and 2.40fo additional postage on
the reverse, the airmail cover has five 60f stamps, which I really like--even tho it is pencil addressed. This cover is over-rated
for ordinary airmail, and since it has the same 3.00fo total postage
as the other cover, I like to assume it was supposed to have been sent
registered, and wasn't.
