Title: Stamping around with Nick [The PSM magazine, 9(2)] Abstract: After almost thirteen years of arguments and polemics, since its introduction in the philatelic world with "pseudo-stamps" in November 1966, the road is now open for a postal and philatelic recognition of the right of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta to issue its own stamp to frank mail matter originating from the S.M.O.M. state in 'Via Condotti' and on the 'Avventino'. The word "state" is not loosely applied here, since we are talking here of an entity with its own political and diplomatic structures, recognized internationally. [excerpt]

Title: Detailed information of new issues : Europa 1979 issue Abstract: The 1979 "Europa" stamp set, depicts as part of the general theme "History of Postal and Telecommunications Services" past and present day methods of mail transport and communications. The 7c stamp features a "Maltese Speronara" and the tail fin of an Air Malta aircraft. The "Maltese Speronara" was a small open vessel equipped with sails and oars. It was designed to ride the waves and to sail to any port in the Mediterranean. The Order of St. John continuously employed the "Maltese Speronara" on several commissions, especially to carry official and private despatches to the galley squadrons or to the continent. [excerpt]
