Hungary. Mostly used. Very attractive collection with well over 1000 stamps, evident from the first page onwards that hits you with excellent quality beginning with 2 of each of the scarce lithograph printing, all individual items in their own right and three of each of the engraved printings, again superb. This page alone cats well in excess of 3000 euro. The next page has further issues of the Franz Josef types inc some mint such as the engraved 2k, 5k and 10k and a further two dozen used, including better lithograph with varieties written up accordingly. Further 19th century including extensive studies of the crown issues again with some beautiful examples here with cds and considerable specialization well beyond the remit of most catalogues, page after of perforation studies with much unlisted ending with imperforates again with all kinds of specialisations/unlisted. The 19th century continues with the St Stephens here and is a delight to view, especially in this outstanding condition. There are also considerable watermark studies as well, again with 100s of stamps, such is the depth of scholarship here. There is a little early 20th century, pleasant enough with complete sets, mint and used of the 1900 through 1916 Hungarian crown issues inc tabs, however overall it is the 19th century that makes this one of the very best Hungarian collections we have had the pleasure to offer. Offered intact as received. As soon as you view this collection, you will want to buy it, it is that good! Show less
