"Chas Adrion" skrev i en meddelelse
... Rene - I have started a collection of Denmark postmarks - trying for one from every town. I am a real beginner in this area. Any advice? chas adrion aps#94736 Chas, I don't collect this way myself, and most of my used Danish spares are sold, but I'll be happy to send you some spare postcards/covers with cancels/postmarks from different Danish towns to get you started. Just send me a postal address by email (see autosig). Other than that I would try and get a detailed map of Denmark, where you can find the major part of the towns, so that you can locate the postmarks. After the 90s, when we changed over to Distribution Centers, this collecting area has become less interesting. Leaving the rest of your question to Rene ... ;-) -- Best regards Ann Mette Heindorff (Mette) reply to heindorffhus at heindorffhus dot.dk http://www.heindorffhus.dk "RKJ" wrote in message k... "Victor Manta" wrote in message ... For this reason I wonder how many actively participate or are at least read the postings in this NG. I read the RCSD often. I almost only post replys and only if i have some useful information to add... May I invite you to answer this posting, by eventually adding a short comment, for example about what are you collecting. Denmark - 1864 issue Denmark - 1875 to 1905 Bicoloured issue Denmark - All postmarks France - Napoleon Empire issues 1853 & 1862 France - Postal rates to Denmark Germany - From old states to bout 1950 Europe/World - postmarks (various types from each country) -- Rene Jorgensen |

Hi Chas My best advice is to get a copy of the complete catalog of danish handstamp postmarks untill 1990. It is absolutely awesome. A good 1000 A-4 pages when printed out. Every known cancel is listed and with a quality scan wherever possible, and including starting date, earliest and latest known use, and much more. Its available on cd-rom. A danish postal historian finished this catalog (and still updates it) . If you are interested, let me know, and ill see if i can find his address. Im not sure about the price, but would think its around 150-200 euros. -- Rene |

Your posting will let know to our visitors how large actually is the experience of this philatelic group. Monaco, France, DDR, Bund, Berlin, Reich, Zones, Sweden,Norway,Denmark, Finland, Iceland,Cyprus,Australia,NewZealand,Saudi Arabia,Gulf States, & Lebanon.............................all postally used. I believe that stamp collecting is thriving in Europe ( but fading away in G.B.) You even see young people at stamp fairs on the Continent. Geezer. |

Pour participer à nos (d)ébats, "Victor Manta"
sussurait le Sun, 24 Oct 2004 08:22:51 +0200 : I have noticed (but I can be wrong) that the number of postings in RCSD decreased in the last time. Isn't it a bit strange, especially when considering that on news:fr.rec.philatelie (the stamps NG in French) there are more and more postings, and anyway more than here? on frp we are a lot of funny guys, and sometimes our posts are not very philatelic ;o) I'm collecting : Australia mint and used Canada used Finland mint and used Stamps with the Tour Eiffel (in fact, I wish collect, I have only 1 stamp! lol) My wife is collecting: Germany (only West) mint or used (but only a few recent missing) Topical: Dogs, Mushromms, Gymnastics (all used or mint) -- ThibauT Best regards from Vergèze (France), city of Perrier ;o) |

Gday, Victor and everyone else
I get in here regularly, often more to read than to write. My collections are Germany & pre-1940 worldwide, both more accurately described as accumulations rather than scholastic museum pieces. -- Cheers - John Mycroft coryton_at_cobbsmill_dot_com |

Victor Manta Greetings Mr. Manta. .. I read rcsd posts daily. Some discussions far exceed my feeble comprehension and collecting skills. Thus, very little contribution, active or not, on my part. .. I should mention, my collection consists primarily of Harris United States Classic supplement pages and Harris Master Worldwide supplement pages. Occasionally, a stamp finds itself hinged to one of those supplement pages or into one of my nine shoe boxes full of sorted duplicates. Collector of all, master of none. I may spend up to $50US a year on supplies, but I spend $0 for stamps (except for actual postage). .. Respectfully, Gordon Lee Great Fritain Royal Memorabilia & Fish Bait Emporium Inexpensive stamps are just as fun to collect as expensive ones. |

"Chas Adrion" wrote in message ... Rene - I have started a collection of Denmark postmarks - trying for one from every town. I am a real beginner in this area. Any advice? There are many ways to collect cancels.... many start out like you, by collecting each town. Some specialize in certain types or certain cities or areas. Cancels from an island have always been very popular, like the danish Bornholm, or the Faroe islands cancels before 1975. In my collection i dedicate a sheet for each cancel. Preferably on different types of stamps from different periods to show the use of the cancel. And then a complete letter or similar. An example from my collection can be seen he http://home20.inet.tele.dk/rkj/cancels.jpg Hope it can inspire you. If you need any help with identifying cancels etc.. dont hezitate to email me :-) -- Rene |
