Salzburg, tomb
Apart from having the caption in an Old German script, the card itelf looks absolutely ancient on both sides. The stamp and postmark are there. We’re not certain of the date, but the postmark shows 8.VII.’1-9 (can you translate that for us?). A legend down the middle reverse suggests the postcard dates from 1921. Grade: 2

-
St. Wolfgang
The front of this card is fine. It was mailed in 2021, and has its stamp and a large philatelic postmark. But the sender littered the reverse with stickers and tapes and labels and turned it into Grade: 5
-
Wien XIII, Schloss Schönbrunn
Historic villas dot Hietzing, the 13th District, one of Vienna’s most affluent neighborhoods. Baroque Schönbrunn Palace, the Habsburgs’ summer residence, draws visitors to its opulent interiors, while walkers enjoy the gardens and zoo. This old, unused sepia postcard is heavily aged and stained (mildew?) on the reverse, but the front is still OK and the card is undeniably authentic. Grade: 3

-
Blindsee am Fernpass Tirol 1210m mit Zugspitze
Americans might say we “rolled the dice” with where to list this real-photo card, since it involves multiple locations both geographically (including Austria) and in its travels around Europe. We’ll let you deduce all that, and just say it was actually mailed from Germany to England (one postmark) then forwarded to a different English address (two more postmarks). All this in 1953. Exceptionally, we’ll score this more highly as Grade: 2
-
St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee
The caption kindly identifies these mountain peaks, but it would take us a day to decipher and type them, so please just trust us. The card was mailed from Salzburg in 1993 using a postage meter (very clear) and blue trilingual Flugpost label. Grade: 1
-
Salzburg, Die Mozartstadt, multiple views
The five views are all identified — in German — on the back of the card, in the caption. Mailed in 1988 with stamp, Innsbruck postmark, and blue Flugpost label. Grade: 1
