Description

This official philatelic sheet, published by CEF, honors ACORAM (Central Association of Naval Reserve Officers) on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, 1926-1976. The visible side features a detailed illustration of a cruiser or warship sailing on a stylized sea, accompanied by historical and explanatory texts about the association and its missions.

In the bottom left, there is a French 1.00 franc stamp, cancelled with a round postmark dated April 10, 1976, in Paris, explicitly mentioning the event. The postmark includes the association's symbol and maritime elements, reinforcing the commemorative aspect of the sheet. The entire piece is printed on white cardboard, with the neat and professional presentation typical of CEF editions.

The sheet bears a visible numbering (5444) in the lower left corner, indicating a limited and controlled edition. On the left side margin, several official mentions are printed, such as "Modèle déposé" (Registered Design) and the reference "N° 343 du catalogue CEF" (No. 343 from the CEF catalog). The printing is clear, with a dominance of grey, black, and blue tones for the naval illustration.

The printed text details the history of ACORAM, its missions, and its influence in training naval reserve officers. The whole is structured with a clear layout and classic, easy-to-read typography.

This sheet is typical of CEF philatelic productions from the 1970s, combining artistic illustration and historical documentation, and is primarily aimed at enthusiasts of maritime and military thematic philately.
