This "maximum card" of
Switzerland, showing the commemorative stamp of 40 cents denomination
commemorating 50 years of "Swiss Quality Emblem (showing traditional
"Armbrust" (Crossbow), with which
William Tell had killed "Gestler", who according to legend put an
apple on the head of the son of William Tell and ordered the father
(William Tell) to shoot the
apple, you certainly know the
legend! The Swiss people believe in the legend, but there is not a single
person called "Tell" who lived in the past or is living in
Switzerland today!). The emblem (Trademark) Armbrust was introduced for the
first time in 1931.This Armbrust Signet ensures the buyers that the
product which they have purchased is genuine, and is made in Switzerland. In 1981 this signet celebrated its 50th
anniversary. Thank you Maria
