The only record of any philatelic observance the Vatican Postal Service that can be found was on June 28, 1933, when the Central Post Office Building was officially opened with Pope Pius XI and the Marquis Camillo Serafini, Civil Governor of the Vatican City State, present. We have been unable to find record of any first day observance, even on the opening day of the Vatican City Postal Service on August 1, 1929. It was wet on the opening day of the Vatican City Post Office an ordinary cancel was used. On some covers of August 1, 1929 there is cachet struck on the cover with black ink, a single line circle containing the Papal Coat of Arms and the legend: "Poste Vaticane".
