Bermuda. Lot ★★/★/⊙. A charming and most attractive collection, mint and used specifically for King George VI definitives in uniformly good condition throughout. Please note that the toning on the 12/6 key plate is completely normal for the first issue of the George VI definitive. There is much MNH throughout and when used, it is overwhelmingly circular date stamps. There at least 2/–×24, 2/6×12, 5/-×15, 10/–×4, 12/6×5 and £1×5, as well as a few covers. There are many permutations and types here, especially in the written up perf studies, as well as the more obvious shades, notwithstanding the high likelihood of varieties to discover as well. For the dealer or collector specialist of this area, a most enjoyable viewing awaits, for the most part uncatalogued. Please allow sufficient time for study.

Britain. Collection/accumulation used. An extraordinary reconstruction, seldom seen for one specific plate, especially a good one! This is the Queen Victoria 6d mauve (without hyphen) on plate #8, SG #109 cat £140 each. This is ex Charles Nissen/Hadlow stock housed in an exercise book, specifically for the reconstruction of GB surface printed. The quality is uniformly good throughout, from our checking everything we saw was in excellent condition throughout. There is a total of 555! This is an attempt to build 2–3 complete reconstructions of this plate by check letters and represents a catalogue just under £80,000. This is ideal for a dealer to replenish stocks very inexpensively, good condition at at less than 1% of catalogue! A one-off opportunity. Show less

British commonwealth, Oceania. Accumulation ★★. An outstanding range of thematics cataloguing over €85,000 (approx USD $100,000 equiv) with a face value of approximately €25,000 equivalent (approx USD $28,000 equiv). The vast majority are in sets and countries include Aitutaki with for example 'protect earth', Cook Islands with flowers, shells and fish, then Niuafo'ou butterflies galore and Niue. Everything is in superb condition and issues from 1968 through to 2012 with many dozens of the better sets, or more. An excellent opportunity at hugely discounted rates as our valuation is very conservative. Dealers of topics or face value, make sure this is on your list of lots to view. An absolute money maker at these ludicrously low levels of catalogue/face value. Show less

Cuba. Mostly used. Well over 1000 stamps from dozens of imperfs onwards, overwhelmingly 19th century with Spanish and US Administration. There is occasional duplication, however often in better material waiting to be written up and put in to the main collection. There are extensive shade studies with enormous potential with the 19th century. There is also about 200x19th century fiscals from imperfs onwards, as well as values mint on the early shields to 4 pesetas from 1879 onwards. Other items seen incl. the US definitives o/ps mint and used to the 10 cts, also postage dues to 10 cts, special delivery, etc. Unquestionably needs a lot of work, yet so much substance here. This is very much a 'work in progress' lot, most worthwhile and conservatively valued. Show less

Hungary. Mostly ★★. Post WW2, hundreds of mint sets in one bulging mint album, the overwhelming majority (if not all) MNH including imperfs, all post WW2 through to the early 2000s with occasional parallel used. The new issue cost is enormous, however the most intriguing part are two adopted designs, large colour essays 21×28 cm individually handpainted for the 3f high value Kirali and the 40f soldier Hadseregbe issues, we have no information on this, other than they look stunning. All in all, thousands of stamps, commems and defins complete, well displayed and no doubt the catalogue value will add up fast, without consideration of the unlisted. Show less

Montenegro. ★★/★/⊙.

It should also be mentioned that throughout this fabulous range there are 'a' numbers and similar material that is not listed at all incl. perforations/varieties, etc. An opportunity seldom available to buy a very comprehensive holding of this wealthy European country.

In these three categories alone, there are about 200 examples and as far as we can see all genuine including the key and high value denominations, be it all in mixed condition. These pages alone very probably have a five figure catalogue value, followed by the perforated issues of 1872 onwards with hundreds of these again incl. used multiples, as well as a many postmarks from the various principalities of Romania. The holding continues with early 20th century esp. the pictorial types in strength, etc. The other two albums are essentially a mint new issue service for the 2000s with several dozen pages inc souvenir sheets, comprehensive, with a substantial new issue cost.
