The Europa issues at 10:50 is of Vlad Tepes (Dracula) and Castle Bran. At 13:00, the recovery of Transylvania is part of what Romania received at the end of WW1. It was part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire previously.
Just a couple of pronunciations corrections; Wallachia is “ValLAWK-ia”, King Carol is King “Carl” 😉. I visited Romania in November (Transylvania and Bucharest) and loved the land and its history. It is an under appreciated part of the world. I have now started a Romania collection. If you ever have extras to dispose of, let me know! Especially pre-WW2.
Very nice stamps. Thank you for sharing the collection with us.
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

Yes I always struggle with pronunciation as spanish was in effect my first language which I have now lost!
There's confusion on the country name..there are 3 spelling types ROMANIA, ROUMANIA, RUMANIA. which is the correct spelling?
i am not entirely sure, however one of those spellings represents the countries language in its name, Romania is the anglicized version
