Fiume. */¤. Magnificent stamp and postal history collection with collateral, as well as errors well written up in a substantial album. Beginning with 19th century, there are Hungarian city photocards through to early 20th century coloured and military, followed by extensive Austria 1850 imperfs from #1 onwards, all with Fiume CDS and various different types through 1853/59/60/61. Then Hungary used in Fiume with 1888/89 numeral types to 3 ft, further 19th century with covers inc triple combination, on to early 20th century feldpost and the 1918 o/ps set complete mint (occasional toning noticed on reverse), followed by the set again complete used through to the 1918 defins and comprehensive p.dues inc Italian City under National Council, p.dues on cover, etc. Further defins inc multples, different papers, virtually everything here inc state of Quarnero o/ps, many different types, errors, through to an extensive range of reference well written up and researched, invaluable for the specialist for comparison purposes. So much more here than first meets the eye inc the constitution, free city with and without o/ps, etc, ending with a most unusual range of early serrated letter seals Fiume, military through to 1945 Rijekaan and occupation incl inverted o/p, as well as Third Reich used in Fiume, etc. Outstanding in scope and a highly recommended viewing.
