Stamp on a special card with original bullet holes created by Olympic champion
The Swiss Shooting Sport Federation stamp is based on the traditional A-type target. At the firing range, Olympic champion Nina Christen used the stamp as a target, shooting through 200 copies. The stamps were each affixed to a numbered special card signed by Nina Christen herself. The cards are available to order from 9 a.m. on 2 May 2024 at postshop.ch/ssv-fst or from your Swiss Post branch. Sales price of CHF 49.00.
