Germany Berlin (West) year 1979 stamps Europa Cept MNH**

The Europa CEPT stamps issued by West Berlin (Deutsche Bundespost Berlin) in 1979 were part of the common Europa issue with the theme of Post and Telecommunications or Postal History (often summarized as “Post & Communication”).

The issue typically consisted of two commemorative stamps.

For the stamps issued by Federal Republic of Germany (and West Berlin, which often mirrored the West German issue but with the “Berlin” overprint and distinct catalog numbers):

• Theme: Post and Communication (or Postal History).
• Michel Catalog Numbers (for the Federal Republic of Germany issue, which is generally the same design): 1011 and 1012.
• West Berlin Catalog Numbers (Michel): These would be in the range of the 1979 Berlin issues, possibly MiNr. 603-604 (this is an estimate based on the range of other 1979 Berlin stamps, and you would need a specific Michel catalog for the exact Berlin numbers).

The designs usually featured abstract or symbolic representations related to the theme of mail and telecommunications.
