China R.O.C. The SINO-SWEDISH EXPEDITION 1928–35. A most interesting and spectacular letter ever of Hedin's correspondence is a registered letter from Sven Hedin himself sent 1933 to Sweden franked 10+15+40 cents = 65 cents. It was onforwarded with a Swedish reg. label as the receiver, Hedin's colleague Dr Arne, had left for Persia as a member of the Swedish Archeological Mission to Shah Tepe in northern Persia but had not yet arrived to his destination Asterabad in Gorgan province when the onforwarded letter arrived. So the letter was again onforwarded and now returned to Hedin in Beijing! An cds on the back on blue states that "Le Destinateur n'est pas encore venue a Gorgan". A large number of cds and transit marks and other marks are found on both sides of the cover. Note the great discrepancies of dates due to Persia as well as China having their own calendar systems which did not correspond with the Western calendar, nor with each other! Also note at top left remnants of a label that was a Chinese label to show it was registered. It was taken away later. A most remarkable postal historic letter steeped in the Chinese scientific development. It is in a remarkably good condition considering the long journey and handling in three different countries!

However this collection occasionally has stamps that have been heavily hinged / stuck down, many will ‘pop-up’ when a little pressure is applied on the back of each page, so please be patient!

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.

Duloz types of 1865/76 very strong - some with very challenging Ottoman pmks to decipher with well over 200 examples and only a few categorised.Then the Crescent types with well over 300 examples, slightly more classified than the Duloz, still in need of much research. The larger Arms types follow, 1892 onwards through to the scarce newspaper types o/p imprimé, among the 200 plus stamps with and without o/ps.

Yugoslavia. */¤ 1918–79. Very well filled collection, housed in a Schaubek album, beginning with the transition sets 1918 and virtually all the Bosnia issues overprinted. On to the Croatia issues with the SHS o/ps inc errors, again virtually complete through to the 1919 breaking chains and hardly empty spaces thereafter often with parallel mint and used one under the over. The same goes for post WW2 with 100s of sets, ending with good back of the book, miniature sheets, Slovenia overprints, an interesting page of propaganda, rejected designs or revenues for the specialist to investigate. Most worthwhile collection needing not that much for completion, as well as material outside of the box. Show less
