Israeli 20th Anniversary Item Signed by Eight Chiefs of Staff. Booklet containing a first-day-of-isssue .40 shekel stamp commemorating Israel's 20th anniversary and signed on the 10¼ x 4¼ in. page to which the cancelled stamp (Jerusalem 24.4.68) is affixed by the eight Israeli Chiefs of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces who served between 1948 and 1968.

A collage of bust portraits of the eight Chiefs of Staff is on the facing page. On the back of the signature page is a full page, color image of the featured stamp. These pages are bound with end papers into a burgundy vinyl holder, which is housed in a custom-made, navy leather case. Excellent condition and a wonderful piece of Israeli memorabilia.
