The trademark text reads : Karte aus Papier, Pappe odgl. mit perforierten, mit Wappen beklebten oder bedruckten Feldern, um welche herum Reklamen odgl, angeordnet sind. S.

The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well). These companies issued advertising cards, with two images, that could be cut out and placed in the album. According to the cards, one card was issued weekly. With 480 cards that would mean 240 weeks. When they started issuing in 1903, the series could have been completed by 1907. | The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well).

The album was issued as the first out of a series of two (the second was never issued) and contained the arms of present and former (non-European) countries and European cities. The second album supposedly would contain family arms. | |||
At least six different album formats for the first album were issued, see below. | |||
The | The cards were issued initially in Germany, but were also available in other countries. As far as I know, the names of the countries and cities, as well as the album itself were not translated. The cards were introduced for the Dutch market in 1908, as can be seen in the advertisements below. | ||

In addition there are some differences in printing as well as misprints known. Sometimes, however, colour variations are largely due to old age and wear, not due to a real misprint. I am aware of the following variations and misprints (all have been found on multiple cards form different albums, hence no change due to wear): | |||
