Between the wars (1920–1935) the League of Nations administered the region. It is the early postal issues of the 1920s that constitute the Cohen Collection—5,009 objects—including the philatelic exhibit "The First Issue of the Saar (January 20–September 15, 1920)", an album of forgeries and a stock book of individual stamps.
