Background
The album was issued as the 3rd album of the company and the first heraldic one. The album shows the arms of towns as well as regions and countries. The focus is mainly on the German countries at the time, as well as many examples from Austria and other European countries. There are no city arms outside Europe. The album is divided in 42 series, ranging from 6 to 80 towns/regions per series. Probably a year later (1930) an appendix (Nachtrag) was issued with another 57 German arms of regions that were missing in the original album.
The images are quite small (3.4 x 4.5 cm) and have no text on the front. The reverse shows advertising and information on the album, as well as the name of the town and serial number.

There are also a number of variations, often listed with the same back as the Nachtrag images, but not included in the Nachtrag pages. These are listed in the overview per series below in bold. At least 18 variations are known, with 3 versions of the arms of Ecuador (Series 42, nr 11).
