Poland
The Polish album, "Herbarz Polski", was issued in 1932 by Kawa Hag, Warszawa. The author was Dr. Marian Gumowski. Dr. Gumowski (1881–1974) was a historian from Torun, a well-known heraldicist.
The album is mentioned as part one (Zeszyt I). More issues were planned with personal arms, but never published. Part one contains 284 arms of towns, (historical) districts, dioceses etc., but no personal arms.
The arms were supplied in 8 sheets of 36 stamps each. Four of these were used for advertising. The back of the stamps contained no texts.
