Iran. ★/⊙. Outstanding collection from 1874 onwards with many 100s of stamps, well presented with much 'outside the box', including occasional MNH such as the 1899 defins high values, seldom seen as such. Also present material unlisted in the catalogues, often in the added pages. The 20th century also comprehensive with many scarce items, not just in the obvious definitive and commemorative sets, also good o/ps and varieties, etc. A collection that gets better and better on each close inspection with much more here than described, it will delight the specialist with distinct possibility of discoveries. Warning that as usual there are many fake stamps, and reprints. Somewhat mixed quality.
