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. Approx. 11 kg. Show less

Czechoslovakia. ★/⊙. Grandfathers' mint and used collection on old time album leaves beginning with the Posta Ceskoslovenska 1919 o/ps, through to the late 1930s inc useful m/s followed by dozens of the Hradcany issues, as well as allegory 'breaking chains', well filled and the seldom seen imperf 1920 airmail set used, all with good margins. Further specialisation of the 1920s and so it goes on with page after page including material from start to finish outside of the mainstream ending with the doplatits and the Oderberg Abstimmungen o/ps. Further finds likely, offered intact as received. Many * stamps mounted with damaging hinges. Show less

Germany, mixed. Mostly used. Lovely large old heavy KABE album (1935) grandfathers' collection, primarily used to the 1920s with several 100s stamps beginning with Bavaria with various imperfs and shield issues, perfins and a very good representation of WW1 on to Wurttemburg, as well as earlier ranges Baden, Brunswick to NGC, Prussia, Saxony particularly an interesting Leipzig straightline cancel on 1863 high value 3ngr, etc, through to German Empire from 1872 onwards, 1880/89/1900 to Reichspost well filled on to peace time printings and then 1905 again well represented, through to the war time printings, the high values on transitional Bavaria Deutsches Reich o/ps complete, inflation issues commercially used, commercially used, etc. Further Weimar republic 1925/28 again well filled on to Third Reich with many good sets present inc the professions of 1934, costumes, parallel mint and used, etc. Also seen ranges of Danzig, Saar, Memel, Upper Silesia ending with occupation issues/Allenstein, some German Colonies, etc. Completely uncatalogued, unpicked and most worthwhile.

Germany, mixed. Used. Allied Occupations through to Saar housed in lighthouse album, all postally used, beginning with numeral types for all zones, particularly the single band posthorn o/ps and the all over posthorn o/ps of 1948. Then the castle issues, various better commems, useful French Zone, i.e. Baden, Rheinland-Pfalz and of course Wurttemberg inc a good range of missing denominations, on to the Russian Zone of 1945, specifically imperf numerals, useful Saxony, Thueringen bridges, both the Goethe and the Hannover m/s superb used, etc. Finally, Saar, again all postally used, much from 1954 onwards inc both sets of Heuss. A well balanced collection, particularly good to see postally used in good quality, offered intact as received. Show less

Iran. ★★ 1979–1991. An extraordinary complete collection, beginning with the revolutionary period, housed in one large album specifically made in Tehran. Beginning with the Shah's head obliterated definitive o/ps for the new regime, from the late 1970s all the way through to the early 1990s including miniature sheets. The definitives with se-tenants and imperfs, also the banned (in US) anti-American issues and much more saturated with all the culture and propaganda of the Islamic Revolution. An absorbing collection to view, no doubt with scarce material present from the low printing numbers and the lack of worldwide new issue distribution. An opportunity. Show less

Italy. ★★/★/⊙. Specifically Fiume and Trieste, one man's life time collection of back of the book. Several 100s of stamps, housed in one thick album very well presented, written up, all one of a kind with much identified by Barefoot. Beginning with Fiume from the Croatian Occupation through to the Italian printings, then the 'Marco da Bollo' o/ps to further Fiume o/ps with different stars and watermarks, overprint errors, as well as other unlisted. Virtually every issue seen for any purpose for Fiume such as stock transfers, passports, municipals, even Istria, Kupa-Sudsk onto WW2 types, very seldom seen. Similarly with the Partisan Government issues of Susak and equally scarce Kupa issues inc multiple pairs particularly for excise duty. Then the 'Diritti D'Urgenza' Venezia Guila, on to the free territory of Trieste with inter-panneau pairs through to AMGs, again very well represented, seemingly complete. Also noted Bills of Exchange, cigarette papers, stock transfers se-tenants, security papers in pristine condition, further se-tenants including large pictorials through to Romulus types and on to yet further errors and varieties, nearly all of it MNH, followed by 'weights and measures' with dramatic horizontally misplaced o/ps with the distinct probability of unique items present. So much here to research than this outline description. This collection is important, some material is quite exceptional. A most enjoyable viewing awaits the collector or dealer looking for the different and very scarce, offered intact as received. Show less

Macau. ★★. "I have the simplest of tastes" said Oscar Wilde "I like nothing but the best", he would have been well pleased with this collection which is essentially MNH complete as bought in on a new issue service, including all the good sets such as the 1977 legislator, the 1983 flowers and m/s, the 1984 centenary set and m/s, 1985 butterflies set and m/s, the very seldom seen 1986 musical instruments set and m/s and the even scarcer 1987 fans set and m/s, etc all housed in a well filled lighthouse album from 1976 through to the late 1990s, as well as back of the book postal tax stamps. Some of these sets have a huge catalogue and makes a much recommended viewing, we estimate the catalogue in the order of 10000 euro, probably more. Perfection. Show less

Mauritius. ★★/★/⊙. Very interesting material, formed over many years of stripping down worldwide collections, primarily with value in the QV and EDVII issues, on to QEII and a little back of the book. The quality is uniformly excellent and of the 100s of stamps here, virtually everything has been identified on a Michel basis, so there is the distinct possibility of inverted wmks and other finds to be made when studied carefully, allowing enough time with a Gibbons. The holding is mint and used with a dozen classic tridents followed by several dozen further QV to higher values with some beautiful circular date stamps present, as well as light diamond cancels. The 20th century also strong in excellent quality. If this is your bailiwick, you will very much enjoy this viewing, finds are highly likely. Show less

Poland. ★★/★/⊙. Grandfathers' collection including the genuine 5 and 10 o/ps mint pair on the 1919 Germania types, otherwise known as the Posen issues, both stamps with expertisation marks on reverse. Also the 1918 Poland in transition and 1919 horseman definitive issues, very well filled, often parallel mint and used with occasional outside of the box, through to the inflationary period, leading to the 1924 defins and then for the most part well filled pages through to the 1930s, inc m/s such as the purple stratosphere MNH, ending with a range of the Teschen plebiscite issues, seemingly complete, as well as Upper Silesia. A lovely collection that gets better on each inspection, a much recommended viewing for the Poland specialist. Some * stamps mounted with damaging hinges, but most are OK. Show less
