I recently visited Vera Trinders in London, and bought an Italian CEI catalogue for the Italian Republic. I get home, and find that I had bought the same catalogue by post a few weeks ago, and had since forgotten about it!! What I actually needed was the Trieste volume. This means that I have a...

Last month I was looking at the stamps I would like to add to my 50th anniversary of Europa collection. Central African Republic $26.11 - Congo-Zaire $24.48 I had a battle with myself to see if I wanted to pay that much for non member stamps. This month there is nowayinhell I will pay the...

I have recently added to my web pages on Varieties in Italian Stamps. My aim is to illustrate those varieties that are not illustrated in standard catalogues, using examples from my own collection. It also acts as a 'bank' of illustrations to assist the authorities should they go missing at any...

Any recommendations? links? Thanks.

Is someone able to explain the subtleties of difference between a common "Registered Letter" and this "AR" (Avis de Reception) card? Carnarvon Western Australia to Nullagine Western Australia 6d via air (assuming Trans West Airlines) Nullagine's population is assumed low (100-200?), due to the...

I have been told that this item is of Yemenite origin (I doubt it). What is it then? http://cjoint.com/data/eeaWZ5Z2jf.htm Blair

I have copied the following statement from a stamps discussion forum: "CTOs are generally limited to Soviet republics and East bloc nations and many post-colonial African nations, plus a few South American countries and a few Asians. Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Congo, Ivory Coast,...

Could anyone tell me the name of the letter ø / Ø (Alt-0248/Alt-0216 on my keyboard) used in Danish words like øre. I've hunted through many long files on the Web and the best I've been able to come up with is "O with a line through it" which seems a bit cumbersome if you are spelling out...

The Romanian set of three values, 1964, Prince Cuza, 2pa, 5pa, 20pa was never issued. Nevertheless it is listed in all catalogues ($7.50 in my Scott 1999). As expected, it exist only as mint. AFAIK the set was sold to the stamp collectors by the postal authority, in quite big quantities,...

Last question for the night, really! Anyone out there have or have used one of these for stamps, coins or ??? Reviews I've read say they are pretty nifty and I think Daniel would get a kick out of one, I know I would, especially for coins - like I have anything of valuesigh. Opinions on the...

Recently I joined the American Philatelic Society, mainly to get The American Philatelist, but I thought I might also benefit from some of their other programs. I am quite impressed by the magazine; each issue seems to have something for everyone, and it's certainly an attractive journal. I've had...

Some time ago I asked on this NG about any city or village named "Denmark" out there. I got plenty of answers, including Denmark in Western Australia. This morning I received a letter from Australia, absolutely correctly addressed to me with country code and zip code, sent on 27 Jan 04. In spite...

For Royalty Collectors here are the three souvenir sheets jointly issued by Denmark, The Faeroe Islands and Greenland at the occasion of the wedding between the Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, and Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, Australia, on 14th May...

Used to be, red was pretty much, well...red. Then philatelists came along and well, red assumed at least 39 shades. If any readers here are studying the KGV sideface penny red, It may be noted in the Aust Specialists Catalogue that their explanation of the shades are taken from an article in...

A railway cancel on a German postcard... The caption reads: Bahnpoststempel vom 27.7.1921 (Sammlung Werner Schwanitz): http://www.rechtsanwalt-schock.de/wwe/bahnpost.jpg and the title is: Die Wallwitz-Wettiner Eisenbahn/ Außerdem beföorderte die Kleinbahn Post, wie die Stempel...

Would the Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Concise Catalogue be a good one for someone who is new to Machins, one that would also cover all the varieties of them? I'm interested in identifying them, not so much their value. Who knows, I might become interested in other GB stamps too. I know there...

I have sold and bought for some time mostly on eBay, but also on Yahoo. eBay seems preferable for moderate and expensive items, say those expected to sell for $5-$10 or above, but eBay has a high lot charge and a moderate commission. As of several days ago, Yahoo eliminated lot charges...

In the Flash Nr. 84 - 2003, the official magazine of the FIP, Albertino de Figueiredo writes: "... Another responsibility of catalogue publishers is that concerning the pricing policy. I feel that there are some basic rules which could serve to promote a philatelic environment which truly...
