Switzerland (Helvetia) stamp 1960
Schwyz Messenger 10

Schwyz is a canton in central Switzerland between the Alps in the south, Lake Lucerne to the west and Lake Zurich in the north, centered around and named after the town of Schwyz.

The stamp above features a messenger of the area, so I suppose he would have been like the first mailman :)
