The first series was issued as Nederlandsche Gemeentewapens between 1924 and 1928. These series only showed the municipal arms in the Netherlands and the Netherlands East Indies (present Indonesia, but also including the arms of Suriname in South America). For the stamp-pages hardcover albums or a cardboard box were available. The cover showed the small National Arms. The side showed the text Nederlandsche Gemeentewapens, and the back advertising for the company. The total collection consisted of 1027 stamps and generally three hardcover albums were needed. | The first series was issued as Nederlandsche Gemeentewapens between 1924 and 1928.

Within the Netherlands all government arms are registered at the Hoge Raad van Adel in The Hague. This register thus includes provincial, municipal arms as well as the arms of water boards. During the early years of its existence (1813-1850) also arms of estates, castles, houses and similar could be registered. Only in 3 cases arms of an estate were granted after 1850 (the most recent in 2004). The Koffie Hag albums contained all arms in the register at the time of publication. The arms of the Netherlands East Indies and the personal arms are not registered. Only arms of Dutch nobility are registered. | Within the Netherlands all government arms are registered at the Hoge Raad van Adel in The Hague.

The albums were written and the images were drawn by Tiete van der Laars and his son Sytse Gerke van der Laars, who were well known heraldic artists at the time. All stamps show the signature S.G. van der Laars. | The albums were written and the images were drawn by Tiete van der Laars and his son Sytse Gerke van der Laars, who were well known heraldic artists at the time.

Like for every country, the stamps were printed in sheets. Unfortunately I have no complete sheets, but based on the incomplete sheets, it can be concluded that the stamps were issued in sheets of 6 or 4 per row, with rows of 4 most common. The stamps were printed in sequence horizontally, but some strange combinations exist of 2 provinces in one sheet. I have no information how many rows per sheet were printed. | |||

===Information on coffee, Koffie Hag and heraldry=== | |||
These pages appeared on different parts of the albums, either on the back of an empty page, or as separate pages. | |||
The latter can be placed anywhere in the albums and are often absent. All pages are combined in the file below: | |||

== | ==Collecting== | ||
People could collect the stamps by collecting from the packages of coffee or by acquiring first coupons for the stamps and sending their order to a special department of the company in Amsterdam. Or by exchanging stamps with other collectors. | |||
== | ===Coupons=== | ||
To get the stamps for the albums the company issued coupons, similar as in the other countries. These coupons were added to the different products of the company, but were also printed on for example advertising material. Coupons could be exchanged for stamps or albums. See below for a number of examples of coupons issued. | To get the stamps for the albums the company issued coupons, similar as in the other countries.

Besides the coupons issued by Koffie Hag, some other (daughter) companies participated in the system, such as Ka-Aba and Makota. Below an example of a coupon issued by Makota Coffee and Tea and a booklet from Ka-Aba. <br> | |||

===Ordering=== | |||
People received their coupons (or sometimes stamps) when buying the coffee from Koffie Hag or Koffie Sanka. To complete the albums it was possible to exchange duplicate stamps or to buy or order by additional stamps. For this special forms were printed and provided with the albums. The form could also be used to order the album sheets, the books published by the company or other material. | |||
An example of a brochure with information how to order, can be seen [https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/cds/hag/nl/folder.pdf here]. | |||

The lists were either published separately, or were part of larger brochures on the albums. See below for the brochures. | |||
Stamps were also sought after and exchanged by collectors for stamps of other companies, as shown in the advertisements below: | |||

===Organisation=== | |||
The stamps were issued by a separate department of the company, the Afdeeling Wapenzegels. They used their own stationery, but the arms were also used on the more generic stationery of the company. | |||

===International orders=== | |||
It was possible to obtain not only Dutch, but also stamps from other countries through the Dutch company. Instead of coupons, the stamps and albums were also sold normally after paying by bank transfer. The company thus issued price lists of the available material. | |||
Below an example of a price list from 1932. Not all countries had been issued at the time, or were not yet completed. | |||

Below an interesting price list of September 1940, just after the start of the Second World War. As the albums were ordered in other countries, is is mentioned at the end of the letter that delivery times are longer than usual and that the French and UK albums are not available at all (they are listed though). The Polish and Czechoslovak albums are not listed at all. | |||
