Postmark from Vienna

Martin Roll who once was a man of many words, wearing a dandy moustache has now become a suffering saggy man as described by his war friend Tõnis Upp. Martin is seriously disturbed by the state of things both at work in he box factory and at home but he does nothing to change that except dedicates himself to his collection of stamps. However, the bitter truth makes Martin bet on his biggest treasure - the Austrian WIPA issue stamp - with Tõnis. Tõnis will win if during one day he is able to tell only the truth.
