International Stamp Exhibition BANGKOK 93 "Traditional Clothing"

Unified Vietnam, International Stamp Exhibition BANGKOK 93 “Traditional Clothing”, October 1st, 1993, Michel Nr. 2561-2566; Six stamps in nominals of 400D, 800D, 1,000D, 2,000D, 5,000D and 10,000D were issued in perforation 13.25:13 and imperforate. There was also a souvenir-sheet with a 10,000D nominal that was produced in perforation 13.5:13.75 and imperforate. There are questions about the actual issuance date of this set. Klewitz reports it to be July 26th, 1993 but does not offer any concrete evidence to back up his claim. The exhibition itself was held from October 1st through October 10th, 1993 which would support the Michel claim.
