Lion (in cachet) Heraldic Lion (in stamp indicium) WWF logo and text: "Редки Хищни Бозайници" ("Rare Carnivores") We are not certain about the official status of this envelope. It might be a private cachet printed on a base envelope issued in 1990. Correct postage for 1992 would have been 1.00. We have seen several examples of it being used as FDC for this stamp issue.
