Saudi Arabia. Collection ★ 1916-1934 in album. Remarkable collection from the first Hejaz issues, unframed Hashimite o/ps, zig zags through to the framed issues inc errors, similarly 1922 types, ending with the postage dues inc inv o/p, etc. This sections ends with 1922/1923 with handstamp o/ps and not forgetting the gold o/ps of 1924, again extensive and interesting. Then follows the Jeddah 2 line o/ps, further zig zags on to further postage dues and the 3 line red o/p types, inc inverted as well as normal, the black o/ps, also present to high values. Similarly so with the blue ops to 10Pi and yet again the 3rd prov and the rectangular control issues with dozens here, looking very impressive. The next section just as good with Nejd, namely the occupation stamps of Hejaz, not just the regular defin o/ps but also the fiscals ad bill stamps, the good railway tax stamps, etc. Finally Ottoman overprint issues Mustahiq black and commemorative handstamp railway issues to 1000PI o/ps, on to 1926 blocks of 4, pans-Islamic conference 1927 types and the Annexation issue again complete on to British Mandate Terriorty, etc, etc. A wonderful collection, much more than this outline description, with many hardly ever seen issues and much unlisted that will delight the specialist. Please refer scans, you will not be disappointed. Fine quality. Show less

Saudi Arabia. Collection used 1867–1921 in album. Extraordinary would be an understatement of this collection, beginning with the 1867 interpostals Gedda, types A and B for both dies, two of the scarcest of the interpostal issues, followed by 1885 used in Jeddah with GB embossed coat of arms and probably unique strips of 4 of the 1 shilling embossed. Also noted the 6d o/p, as well as the 2/6d yet again including some handwritten date stamps from De la Rue, virtually all in good condition. The collection ends with ‘flat rate’ currency stamps in different shades, perf 11 1/2 typograph 1920/21. Much is written up, yet still more research needed, many hundreds of stamps, a wonderful recommended collection, very difficult to find again. Fine quality. (230) Show less

Saudi Arabia. Accumulation ★★/★/⊙ 1916–1980s in removal box. An extraordinary lot that we have not had time to process, representing material the vendor never incorporated into his main collection. For example, there are several 100s of cards housed in two boxes, the first dealing the early issues up to the 1940s with 1000s of stamps to investigate and the second box with a particularly good range of the different cartouches for the various airmails, oilwells, etc and lots of commem. sets, mint and used, be it all chaotically presented. More material is housed in four albums, the first representing the used part of this gentleman’s collection – the mint being offered as a separate lot in this sale. Another representing the Mecca hospital stamps and further overprints of the time, the third representing postmarks often in multiple format on piece, the last album that was specifically for material waiting to be classified or could not be found in the catalogues especially between 1916 and 1930s. This balance holding could break up into dozens of good lots, if only time permitted. A much recommended viewing, so much here to value. Mostly fine quality. (1000s) Show less
