Salvation Army centenary in Argentina, commemorated 01.12.1990. This cachet with the SA sticker was likely made by a salvationist/corps or connoisseur who had access to the SA sticker. This cover is seldom seen and was issued in limited quantity.
The Salvation Army Centenary on the Faroe Islands commemorated on October 23, 2024, with a beautifully designed souvenir stamp sheet. In addition to the official release, two unique country combo covers were privately created in extremely limited quantities (only 5 of each).
These covers emphasize the strong regional ties between the Faroe Islands, Norway, and Iceland, underscoring the shared SA history and community in the region.

Salvation Army Centenary on the Faroe Islands
First Day of Issue: 23 October 2024. Postmark: Tórshavn. This is the official post office cachet. I hope to obtain some special covers later. The minisheet features illustrations of Salvation Army soldiers and their social work. The SA on the Faroe Island is connected to the Norwegian/Iceland & Faroe Island region.
Dauermarken (definitive stamp) cachet w/ Salvation Army stamp & one of the stamps issued in the definitive set (1 CHF). Both stamps were issued on the same day. I’ve not seen the SA stamp on this definitive cachet before. Likely rare!
A Swiss collector wanted to have an FDC done when this Salvation Army stamp was issued on August 23, 1982. At home he discovered this date error; the cover was cancelled 23.18.1982. Plain cachet with a pictorial cancel – 8833 Samstagern – Sonnenterasse uber dem Zurichsee. Not seen before with such an error. I suggest to catalogue this as SA 17.0
Salvation Army Centenary in Canada 25.06.1982. These Canadian postage stamps cachets with Maple Leaf flag illustration have not been seen before, must be rare! Postmarked in Calgary – Alta / Alberta.

Salvation Army 75th anniversary in Switzerland. The SA stamp (SG 590) was issued together with other anniversary stamps in 1958. This is a business cover from PURA with local postmark. Not seen before – likely very rare!!
Some US Salvation Army issues contained info sheets with brief summaries of the organization’s history. The SA 4.19 info sheet also includes details about the artist behind the featured stamp.

United States FDCs with the Swiss 1958 stamp has been seen before on the SA 4.3 cachet, but I’ve not observed it on other FDCs. Here are four more cachets with this country combo

This cover is truly extraordinary, never seen before and potentially one-of-a-kind. It features the first Salvation Army stamps ever issued; the 33-year-older Netherlands Indies SA stamp set (1932), which has been added to a United States First Day Cover (SA 4.19). This exceptional combination is likely the work of a collector or connoisseur who possessed in-depth knowledge of SA stamps. During the 1960s, likely few were familiar with the Netherlands Indies set. Additionally, obtaining stamps from foreign countries was much more challenging back then, and having extra sets for such country combo issues, let alone coming up with this combo idea, would be rare.
Salvation Army Centenary in Canada in 1982.

Large cachet (226 x 102 mm). Rare – not seen with this size before. A similar smaller cachet has been obtained before.
