The new Duck stamp, scheduled to be issued on June 30 was engraved by Czeslaw Slania. This could be the last stamp to be issued that was engraved by the master, as Slania passed away a couple of months ago. Here is a quote from the latest Postal Bulletin concerning the stamp:
The $15 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp for the 2005-2006 season goes on sale at Post OfficesTM nationwide June 30, 2005, and is valid through June 30, 2006. The U.S. Department of the Interior will formally issue the stamp at the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, on June 30, 2005.
The Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp will be issued in two formats: (1) in the traditional water- activated gum (WAG) pane of 20 stamps (Item 333400) and (2) in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) single stamp (Item 333500). The stamp size in the PSA version is the same size as the WAG version and can be peeled from its carrier sheet. The carrier sheet is the size of U.S. paper currency and fits easily in cash drawers.
