Britain. Used. An outstanding range of perf-ins with for example, 'Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank', 'crown' perf-ins among many many others, neatly organised alphabetically with at least 80x 3d on 3d lilac SG #159, cat £160 each £12,800 and at least 88 examples on the 6d on 6d lilac SG #162 cat £150 i.e. £13,200 making a total £26,000+ Perf-ins are far scarcer and are becoming extremely popular collecting areas today. All in all at least 50 different departments/governmental agencies, securities markings, companies at the height of the British Empire, all well worth researching. It will be a long time before such a collection of QV comes on the market again, viewing highly recommended. Show less

British commonwealth. Mostly used. 1000s of stamps housed in two Imperial stamp albums. The first album begins with GB through to Malta, the second album from Mauritius through to Zululand. Everything is between the 1840s through 1936 and is all one of a kind, mint and used. The collection is completely uncatalogued and in our opinion it will easily catalogue between £25,000/£35,000. Condition overall is very good and there is much cataloging between £10 to £200 each. The QV is as good as the KGV and EDVII. Some of the better countries include GB from line engraved, Australia, Canada,Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Mauritius, Natal, New Hebrides, New Zealand incl. high value postal fiscals, Orange Free State incl. mint multiples showing different settings on the o/ps, Rhodesia inc seldom seen perfins and a good range of admiral heads, St Helena, Southern Rhodesia, the Malayas from Straits Settlements onwards, Transvaal, useful Australian States from New South Wales through to Western Australia incl. unlisted, finally ending in Zululand. Value is spread across the board in this very well balanced collection and serves as a solid foundation, especially for filling in those empty spaces. Much merit throughout, plenty of good BC stamps in the middle range. A joy to view, a good old fashioned well rounded collection. Show less
