Most of these stamps occur in either non-flourescent ( no u/v reaction) or flourescent ( very bold Yellow reaction under long wave u/ v ). I have 2 of this ( a 50 o red and a 60 o red) which display a weak white flourescent reaction under lw uv. Does this signify that the flourescence has washed...

Looking back at some holes in my Joint Issuss collection I ran into Abkhazia. Nakhichevan and South Ossetia. Google solved the wherenhell is that question. ebay did not solve the wherenhell can I get the stamps. Just another of the things that put my undies in a wad. I did find the ugly little...

Today I received a letter, computer addressed to me or current resident. The return address was a gold and black personal stick on, not a company or business address. Ten cents postage. The contents was advertising for a local air conditioner service. I don't care how well the mail is sorted when...

Rodney, here comes the new scan. The question is still, why a London-Registration-Label has been used on an "on active service"- cover, sent from Malta. Istill wonder, what that censor-mark may be? http://666kb.com/i/bcg31ipkg33snbifl.jpg In addition a ID-question - what could this be? the...

Dear friends, I am making my personal Machin stamp album and would like to place a representative image of its contents on the cover. I would like to hear some proposals from you so I'd be able to create a beautiful album cover. Any ideas are welcome. If possible, I'd appreciate also if you...

The first philatelic error. The Mulready envelope, the Angel in the top right side corner has only one leg.

Apologies to all, I am posting this blind I have not had any Newsgroup links, and even Google has dropped, with no messages since around the 27th. Apologies for any replies I may have had, that I cannot respond to. In the meantime, one for Malcolm and Ralph who like to cavort with the great...

Recently, when browsing for something completely different, I came across an excellent link to Moldovan (spelling?) stamps, which I found might be of interest to collectors of the former Eastern Europe. At least there are not many similar sites online from the various parts of the whole east...

I have just set up a small site about the Viking Raids seen through Postage Stamps. It has nothing -- at least not much ;-) -- to do with arts, but provides a pleasant break from the traditional collecting areas. http://vikings.heindorffhus.dk The site being intended for attracting the youth to...

When did England introduce oval perforations? I have come across these stamps "Caernarfon Castle" http://queries.heindorffhus.dk/frame-Caernarfon.htm the first one -- SG 1411 -- being issued 1988 with normal perforations, and the second one -- right -- (when?) with oval perforations. Both stamps...

I was reading about watermarks on stamps tonight and the book says their main purpose is to make if more difficult to forge stamps. This spawns a couple of questions. 1- is forgery such a problem in the postage stamp world that watermarks are *really* necessary? 2- any idea what percentage of...

I have a tremendous amount of reading to do. Again I meandered into another antique mall and found quite a few newspapers in excellent condition for a cost as little as a .. a newspaper. These are all pre wood pulp and are as strong as linen. One may say "What does this have to do with stamps?"...

In relation to my query about France Scott 2N5, here is the real question. This modern cover http://w1.1429.telia.com/~u142900356/FranceLiberationCover-small.jpg (one long line if broken) quite neatly cancelled in 2003, is franked with 3 x Scott 2N5, and 3 x Scott 505 (liberation issue), all in...
