The first catalog number in the description is generally the 2023 Schweizer Briefmarken Katalog (SBK), followed by Scott (S) as appropriate. Values are from the 2019 Zumstein catalog. Airmail covers are listed and valued per 2013 Schweizerisches Luftpost-Handbuch where appropriate. Catalog values are converted to US dollars at the rate CHF 1 = US$ 1. Although the Swiss Franc is a little higher than the US Dollar it makes pricing a lot easier.
