China. Covers. Very well written up and researched collection, housed on quadrille album leaves, beginning with an extraordinary registered multiple with regular coiling dragon from Peking, plus French PO 5 cts, Japanese PO 1 sen, CEF ½ anna, US PO 1 ct Franklin, Germany 5 and 30 pf, a most eye catching visual item. Next is the 10 pf German eagle commercial usage with a redirected cover to Germany for the Deutsche Marine Schiffspost, followed by blue and black Expeditionary Forces pmks, then an extraordinary double oval rare Paotingfu pmk internal usage to Shanghai, right in the middle of the Boxer Rebellion, followed further postcards, illustrated individual photo commercial usage from Kiautschou, etc. Further postal history to enjoy, not least of which is the double circle seldom seen Shanhaikuan strike, etc. One of the best postal history collections with specific strength in the Boxer Rebellion era we have had the pleasure to offer. We can't help thinking there are some very scarce items here for the specialist to research and identify. The entire lot is presented at www.philea.se.
