Is this a hockey stamp? The illustration on the stamp is based on Austrian designer Arthur Zelger's poster for the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics.
Some say that image shows an ice hockey stick blade, some say that the image is a ski jump ramp and others say that the image is of a skate blade. Since Arthur Zelger died in 2004 we may never know.
