I sent my letter this morning to Franzenheim and put 2.00 Euros postage on the SASE which I included. It was a letter to a private individual, so no records, registrations, etc. needed to be included in a return letter. Florence Hi Florence. I'll bet you got a lot of replies on this one. I myself bought a bunch of 3-DM stamps about 12 years ago, for the same reason. That was the cost of a letter to America back then, and I did receive several replies. 3-DM is about 1.50 Euros now. Does anybody know if those stamps are still valid? With the proper additional postage, of course. Jim in California
