Around 1933, the company Káva Hag akc. spol. z Mariánské lázně in a simple and luxurious version (with a solid color cover) released (at Grafické Umělecké Závody v. Neubert a synové, Praha-Smíchov (Graphischen Kunstanstalten v. Neubert und Söhne, Prag-Smíchov)) stamp album Znaky Republiky Československé (Signs of the Czechoslovak Republic) - Kaffee Hag, A. G.: Wappen der Tschechoslowakischen Republik. Its authors were Vilém Klein and Antonín Morávek.
Information and pictures from the album are provided by the Heraldry of the world website, from where the pictures were taken. More information about the company can be found in the article Coffe Hag Albums. The album features detailed text on heraldry, and as in other albums, has a chapter on coffee and caffeine.
The album contains emblems/coats of arms of individual Czechoslovak countries (lands) and city emblems. A total of 181 stamps were printed. Image variants: 8 different images. A total of 285 different images are known.
The album was released twice, which led to some changes in the marks (but not in the album itself). The only real variation is the case of the Unicorn emblem. Another thing concerns land coats of arms - they are captured with two types of shields. Finally, many characters in the first edition were accompanied only by Czech text, in the second edition the texts are bilingual.
The album was released as Part 1, but the second part was no longer released. It contains 180 stamps with pictures numbered in each section separately. It is divided by country into chapters.
The album is divided into chapters according to countries, with the coats of arms of the countries on separate pages (in the luxury edition it is conceived in this way exclusively); followed again by the provincial coats of arms, the emblem of the provincial capital and alphabetically the emblems of other cities and towns. The countries are: Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia and Carpathian Ruthenia. The data supplied to individual cities generally do not explain their characters, but provide some notes on the history and description (blason) of the coat of arms. The coats of arms are explained only in some cases. An indication of the city's population is also provided.
The backs of the pictures show the description of the characters in both German and Czech.
