Jen B. Cannot find my duplicate set, but when I do, I'll send them off to you. Montenegro Government in Exile 1921 (Not Listed Scott) ID and subsidiary information from Mr Blair Stannard "The Stamp Forum" with appreciation Please note: There are mistakes on my page "AR" stamps are "confirmation of delivery" The bottom set is missing the 25 para Blue (Making 19 stamps in the complete set) These are not parcel post, but "porto" = postage dues. Thanks  |

Nice stamps Rod. I need help to ID this stamp. Perfs are 10.25 x 10.5. How do you tell early, middle and late printings. Also, any ID on the town?  |

How did you do that?? The long story.... I would have just changed the language in MSWord but I don't have the language packs loaded and I can't remember where I put the disc......wasted another hour of my life.....another thing to put on my "TO FIND" list
I got lucky and found it in the first website I went to, I just copied and pasted it.... I copy and paste half of everything I type.... I arint a reel gud spelr..... freedictionary.com is my best buddy
After thinking about it, I probably could have gone to Google translate and used their keyboard..... I rarely use Google, it doesn't seem to be as accurate as I need, in many cases.........

How did you do that?? I go to the Cyrillic alphabet page on Wikipedia and copy and paste individual letters whenever I'm in a bind and need to attempt a Russian translation. I have stacks of catalogues but they don't do me a lick of good if I can't figure out some of the words contained within! (Just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out Portuguese paper types as shown in my AFINSA catalogue ....) Ryan |

From your various posts it seems like you have quite the catalog library. I've thought of starting a thread asking what catalogs others find useful for various countries. I only have Scott's catalog and sometimes it doesn't seem to offer enough information sometimes. I got very frustrated with it when going through some older Switzerland recently. Almost bought Zumstein's. |

From your various posts it seems like you have quite the catalog library. I've often said that I have almost as much fun collecting catalogues as I do collecting stamps. ha ha In general, once I get "enough" copies of stamps from a particular country, I'm happy to build my library with specialized catalogs. And even in some cases I'll pick up the catalogue even if I don't have much in the way of stamps - for example, I bet I don't have 20 stamps from Lundy, but I have a catalogue. Some catalogues are rarely found, even after enough years of browsing through eBay listings and so on. Whoever it is collecting Brazilian stamps, they sure never let their old catalogues go up for sale ... at least not anyplace where I'm ever looking. (PS - I don't have anywhere near enough stamps from Montenegro to justify a specialized catalogue.) Ryan |

I can send you some scans of Zumsteins' if you're interested..... the cats are old and won't have valid pricing but you can get an idea if it's something you really want to buy. Michel's specialized, for specific country, is sometimes better when working on a concentrated area

I can stumble through with Google translate. The five years of German I had definitely didn't stick. I would really appreciate a scan of a few pages to see if I can make out enough of the text to make it worthwhile. It was the 1882-99 and 1905 Numeral issues I was having so much trouble with while using the 2010 Scott Classic Specialized. Thanks! |
