Afghanistan. ★/⊙. Wonderful collection of exhibition standard, representing one man's lifetime work, including both stamps and postal history, well integrated and written up. Beginning with the early tiger issues of 1871 onwards, there are a dozen or so here with better mint as well as used, for the Kingdom of Kabul with different papers from thin wove and medium laid, also 3 scarce first tiger covers. Then the 1876/77 tiger types, again mint and used with over 30 imperf examples mainly cut to shape cancels, as well as 4 covers usual segmented types, then on to the 1880/90 again with 17 examples including cross pmks, segmented, negative seal, manuscript, non segmented from the abasi to rupee denominations. This is accompanied by same issue with an extraordinary 16 imperf covers, manuscript star cancels, all tied and no doubt rare material, as written up as such, colour postmarks range from purple to mauve, to black and red, even orange, all of which would benefit from modern scholarship today, as this was last collected in the early 1960s. Collection further unfolds to 1891/92 types inc block of 4 registrations, different pelure papers, lithograph printing with at least 3 dozen stamps here inc superb 1891 1 abasi with well struck red cancel on the back of a cover, etc through to 20th century, also with a very good range of the large parcel posts from the 3 shahi, 1 kran, 1 + 2 rupees both perf and imperf, 1 stamp even with the fixing screws imprints on top and side! So much more here inc tete-beche, interpanneau, imperf betweens, both imperf and perforated proofs, etc. In sum, an outstanding old time collection, offered intact as received.

British Colonies (Commonwealth). Mostly stpl. Exciting collection consisting of 15 albums with most as bought on a new issue service. Beginning with an extensive range of QEII onwards with thousands of stamps, one of a kind, the vast majority of albums are extensively well filled with mint sets from countries such as Antigua, Ascension, Australia, Bermuda, British Virgin Island, Canada, Falkland Islands and Dependencies, Gambia, Hong Kong inc 'hot sets' such as year of the monkey, cock, dog through to sea craft, etc. New Zealand, Pitcairn, Singapore, St Helena defins to £2. Swaziland, Tristan, Western Samoa, Zambia, Z.E.S., Seychelles defins to 20rps and many more. There are many 100s, probably 1000s of mint sets here with numerous topics such as Disney, uniforms, mushrooms, birds, boats, planes, horses, flowers, costume, maps to name but a few. Vendor states new issue cost alone easily into £5000 equivalent. Although there is much from 1953 onwards, the bulk of the cost comes from the 1960s/70s/80s. An excellent opportunity for those looking to buy a well rounded British Commonwealth collection, very well presented and a delight to view. Show less

Many scarce stamps present with the first 2 pages alone as cheapest shades cataloguing £10,000! All the widow heads present, everything in rich colours and 20th century page after page of completion ending up with airmails, postage dues, special delivery, officials, all complete.
