Unified Vietnam, International Stamp Exhibition LONDON Airships, September 10th, 1990, Michel Nr. 2241-2248, Block 84; Seven stamps in nominals of 100D, 200D, 300D, 500D, 1,000D, 2,000D and 3,000D were issued in perforation 12.75 and imperforate. There was also a souvenir-sheet with a 3,500D nominal that was perforated 12.5. The souvenir-sheet was not issued imperforate. There are questions about the actual issuance date of this set. Klewitz reports it to be May 3rd, 1990 and there are First Day Covers that confirm the Klewitz date (see below). Also, it is a fact, that the London stamp exhibition was held from May 3rd through May 13th, 1990 so issuing the souvenir-sheet four months after the event would not appear to make any sense.
Here is the mint perforated set
and here the imperforate stamp set with matching bottom left corners.
First Day Covers that document the first day of issuance as reported by Klewitz.
