La Poste invoice by
Ralphael1
My first attempt to order stamps from La Poste was a success, no

I have a few South Korea stamps from what may be a paper bag used as
an envelope or package. The stamps are all the same: a bluish diamond
lattice background with an ornate dragon, possibly flying, and its
long tongue sticking out. Each stamp has "500.00" (the decimal part
is underlined)....
