For the theme "Battle of Trafalgar" seven new sets reached Maritime Topics on Stamps. It is understandable, that many nations want to earn some money with this battle. Up to today I have scanned over 120 stamps about Nelson and Trafalgar for the Maritime Topics pages. Maybe I will scan the new sets on an extra page in the winter time.



To show some more stamps and/or whole souvenir-sheets the pictures are high compressed, so accuracy goes down.
