Morris W. Beck Foreign Covers
Some of these covers were "Sponsored" by Donald O. Schultz but it is believed that Beck printed these.

This page illustrates four printed covers that Morris W. Beck produced for foreign naval events.  Donald O. Schultz, also of Wisconsin and a fellow member of the USCS Nuclear Ships Chapter #61, worked closely with Morris W. Beck on some cover productions.   Donald O. Schultz was the cachet director for the USCS Nuclear Ships Chapter.  Beck had the printing equipment.  There are over 20 printed or rubber stamp cacheted naval event covers.  A checklist is below.  If you are aware of any others, please send a scan to us and we will list it.
