Turkey. Mostly used A very well presented collection in 3 albums of the 1865 to 1892 Duloz design Crescent and Star issues, one album being the mint issues to 5pi with a wonderful range providing various shades and perforations, blocks of 4 and pairs, both Paris and Constantinople printings and with further work to be done separating the different types of Arabic overprints, the 1876 surcharges include a block of 4 of the 5 Pres on 5pi, then a further two albums with the corresponding used issues, also with pairs and blocks, again having shades, perfs and overprint types to work on, but with the additional appeal of the postmarks, ranging from cds's, bilingual types, Arabic cancels both circular and boxed rectangular, negative seals and more, some of which have been identified, but providing a fantastic opportunity to spot furthermore of the elusive Holyland locations. With over 1150 stamps, 2/3rds of which are used, this collection will not disappoint the eagle eyed researcher. Mixed quality.
