Monaco. Mostly ★★. A beautiful collection, virtually complete mint, missing perhaps 20 stamps, e.g. the high values of 1885 (other shades present), the overprints and a few more. All of this is housed in a superb Henry Thiaude album bulging with material including miniature sheets and even a little postal history. It is easier to say what is not here, rather than what is here, it is that good and complete. Viewing highly recommended, totally uncatalogued – even if you are not a collector of Monaco, you would enjoy owning this wonderful collection. Please view carefully, page for page. Show less

Montenegro. ★★/★/⊙. Very probably an irreplaceable range of many thousands of stamps, chronologically ordered mint and used in parallel, a most challenging lot to view as virtually everything is housed stamp on stamp, from the first issues through to early 20th century. The holding is completely uncatalogued, well filled to bulging in one substantial volume ending with back of the book and material we have never seen before. It should also be mentioned that throughout this fabulous range there are 'a' numbers and similar material that is not listed at all incl. perforations/varieties, etc. An opportunity seldom available to buy a very comprehensive holding of this wealthy European country. These stamps have a long way to go as they are grossly undervalued for their printing numbers, please inspect. Show less
