Looking for Personalised Stamps

As you all know there are many collectors who have a warm heart for personalised stamps. To help them to be also informed as good as possible in this area, we have already for many years an overview on our website of all personalised motorcycle and moped stamps that we know. Not only Dutch, but also many international stamps.
At this moment (March 2017) we have almost 1250 personalised stamps, from 25 different countries! Most come from (off course) the Netherlands (599 items, of which more than 100 made by the MFN), Austria (197 items), Spain (100 items) and Belgium (92 items). Here a few examples:

You might wonder how we get all this information. Well, that is not really difficult: search very thoroughly. Think of "real" searching on stamp fairs, but also a lot of searching on the internet. Especially on many advertisement and auction sides, like eBay, Delcampe, Marktplaats and so on.
Off course this is a lot of work. Luckily I get help from a few enthusiastic collectors. But despite this it is still a lot of work, and.... even more important, there is always a chance that we miss some stamps.
Therefore the request to all of you (also non-members!) to keep your eyes open, and when you discover a personalized motorcycle or moped stamp let me know. You don't have to check whether we already have the stamp in our overview, I can do that myself as most times I see this very rapidly.
Images don't need to be perfect, a scan or picture of lesser quality can also be used (eventually after some optimization).
Thus, when you have an image of a personalized stamps, please send it in. You will for sure please your fellow collectors with it! Announcements can be done by e-mail.

Thank you very much in advance for you co-operation!
