Unified Vietnam, HAFNIA Stamp Exhibition 87 Copenhagen Airplanes, December 30th, 1987, Michel Nr. 1860-1866, Block 57; Seven stamps in nominals of 5D, 10D, 15D, 20D, 25D, 30D and 40D were issued in perforation 13 and imperforate. There was also a souvenir-sheet with a 50D nominal that was only issued perforated 13. The December issuance date as reported by Michel may not be correct as there are Fist Day Covers (ex Klewitz) that show an October 12th, 1987 issue date. The date of the exhibition was from October 16th through 25th, 1987 so it is unlikely that the set was issued in December.
Stamps sold at Vietnamese post offices were sold without gum while stamps delivered by the official Vietnamese stamp agency were with gum.
Here is the mint perforated set
