The cachet features a dramatic full-color illustration of a bald eagle in flight, carrying an olive branch in its talons, set against a vivid orange and yellow sunburst background with the Marshall Islands flag visible. The artwork is signed 'Koslow' in the lower right of the cachet panel. The 29-cent stamp from the Republic of the Marshall Islands depicts the same bald eagle motif against a similar orange and red striped background. The pictorial first day cancellation from Majuro shows a line-drawn bald eagle and reads 'Republic of the Marshall Islands / First Day of Issue / JUL 4, 1991 / Majuro.'
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a vibrant cachet artwork of a bald eagle in flight, clutching an olive branch against a sunburst background, designed by artist Koslow. The stamp depicts a similar bald eagle motif with a denomination of 29 cents, and the postmark includes a pictorial cancellation featuring the eagle and the text 'Republic of the Marshall Islands' and 'Jul 4, 1991 Majuro'. The text 'To the Heroes of Desert Storm' and 'Official First Day Cover' is visible on the cover. The condition appears to be pristine and unaddressed.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
