Notes
Innsbruck Winter Olympics overprint: Olympic rings, red Innsbruck shield, INNSBRUCK and 1964; imperforate
Series history
Dubai overprinted the five airmail values of its January 1964 Scout jamboree issue for the IX Winter Olympic Games at Innsbruck. The overprint adds the Olympic rings, a red Innsbruck shield and the inscriptions INNSBRUCK and 1964 on the underlying Tcheterian designs (human pyramid, bugle, march-past, march-past with bugle). The same five values — 20, 30, 40 and 70 naye paise and 1 Gulf rupee — also exist imperforate. Five imperforate souvenir sheets complete the issue, each a block of four of one overprinted airmail design. Sources give no printer.
