Seen in the upper part of the stamp are letters reading "85th founding anniversary of KPA", "1932" and "2017".

Depicted in it are the flying colors of the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army and those of the KPA with powerful cutting-edge military hardware for a background.

The stamp shows the glorious course of the invincible revolutionary army which has created the ever-victorious history and brilliant tradition under the wise leadership of the great persons of Mt Paektu for 85 years since the founding of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army, the first Juche-oriented armed forces.
