Looks the this stamp is not listed in Scott. I see no heading for Montenegro Government in exile. On Jan 30, 8:07 pm, "Rod" wrote: Advice from Mr. Stannardhttp://cjoint.com/data/bFa2jlltQk.htm The set as I have them, not sure if...

This stamp should be Montenegro? The portrait seems to be like an Austrian stamp. I can't find it anywhere. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/Treacan/CF/MNT.jpg

I am on the hunt for watermarks. I re-read previous posts on the subject however, just when I see a link to take a peek at one, - it is no longer a valid link. Would someone be so kind to post a sample watermark? I would be very curious to see one. Thanks so much,

In my Marianne collection there is what Scott calls; Sabine, after David (1977), Liberty, after Delacroix (1982), Marianne with no name (1990) and Marianne with no name (1997). Sabine looks Marianne, the Liberty does not. In your opinion are these two Mariannes? Can you add to the 1990 Marianne...

Presently my FDC's are kept throughout albums in more or less date order mixed with stamps. I have a lot and wonder how other people deal with theirs.

The topic is loosely connected to philately, I am backgrounding the Portuguese coastal settlements of India. In one publication, port access rights were fought over with geat bearing on the exclusivity of import rights to (I think) Spanish horses. One reason given that "horses would not breed in...

In 2007 I will be updating all the existing Mauritius stamp groups. In this respect, I have reactivated the Seychelles group, starting with Postal Stationery: Mauritius Seychelles Philately Seychelles (pre-1903) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mauritius_Seychelles_Philately/ Mauritus Philately

I am intrigued how these were used. They seem to be in smaller denominations than would represent the "receipt" for payment of premiums, but I can't picture how else they would be used. Can someone provide some background? TIA

Now I'm off on a tangent. First off, is there a symbol used by expertizers to indicate a repaired or damaged stamp? I've sold, in the past, stamps that had the cancel removed, the tear re-glued, re-gummed, etc. all with that disclosed but that doesn't guarantee that those stamps were resold as...

In another post, Albumen stated, inter alia, "An alternative, to conserve stamp paper, would be a small label affixed by non-water soluable and archival quality glue having a UV signature so if the tag was removed it could still be detected." Is there such a thing as archival quality glue? If so,...

Britain's highest face value issued postage stamp is £5. The first Machin of this value was issued in 1977, with others printed by different methods and in different formats, issued later. The previous issue of a £5 was in 1892, a gap of 85 years. Is there any published table from which I could...

When I enter the group the format has changed, new setup entirely. Has anyone else exoerienced this? Anyway, I don't like it. Ralphael, the OLD one
