False Istrian overprints by Tony Clayton[_2_]

France 1864 cover to Lisbon by Stan
A friend and I are puzzling over a pair of covers from France to Portugal in the early 1860s. Maury lists a 60 centimes rate to Portugal on a “batiment de commerce,” which I interpret to be a tramp steamer. But these covers are franked with only 20 centimes. One of the covers is shown at:...

Whatever happened to peelable stamp hinges? by Colin McKenzie
A few weeks ago, I finished my last pack of Stangib stamp hinges, vintage probably mid-80s. So I bought some new ones. They looked different from the old ones, but I didn't worry about that - technology advances over time. All went well, until I put a stamp in the wrong place and had to remove it....

Meta-question by Don Levey
Given the rather low traffic in the group, I've not had many cues from which to pick up the customs of the groups, so I'll ask: Is it appropriate to ask specific questions about certain stamps, or is this a more general forum? -Don Levey

New stamp issuing territories by rein
Victor, the Hugo van Reyen Agency on the Channel Islands were responsible for their stamp issueing facilities long ago! Nothing changes, just the number of stamps per year may increase! They could not really be considered postage stamps at all for some 15-20 years already. So why bother...

Collection software by Don Levey
It occurred to me that I might want to consider some sort of software solution to keeping track of my collection. I have seen a few packages out there ranging from $20 to $300, but: 1) Being relatively new to this, 2) Being a Linux user, and 3) Being a glutton for punishment, I thought I might...
