Set of nine 1970 dated post cards depicting various soldiers from Duchy of Warsaw. Good condition as described in listing but has some spots and shows minor yellowing due to age. Item was packaged well in protective wrap and bubble wrap and shipped fast. Seller combined shipping, is responsive and very knowledgeable.
