FOREIGN SINGLE COUNTRIES continued...

When we first saw this lot, housed in 10 volumes, we were amazed as the potential would clearly run into tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of Euro! However on closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is very difficult to give this full value, as so much requires certificates. , Among the many 1000s of stamps here, mint and used, it is chaotically presented, not in chronological order. There are both ,19th ,century by 20th century, also a little foreign (inc. Cilicia, Spanish Civil War telegraphs, Port Gdansk, Alsace-Lorraine, early Bosnia etc). The only part that is basically clear and in chronological order is the Zusammendrucke/se-tenants which look rather good, with one volume devoted to this area. Some of these were bought on 'special offer' deals from mostly German magazines such as the DBZ, over many years. Many varieties are on cover with postal history from the early ,20th ,century onwards. Also noted interesting Third Reich cinderella and WWII Occupations with non-Scott listed back of the book material, bezirks, perfin studies, souvenir sheets inc. Strausberg, Hitler, etc, booklets. An extremely challenging and potentially highly rewarding holding, please inspect carefully turning page for page allowing plenty of time, preferably with a Michel.
