cursus......Those are very nice. While I am here can I ask if there was an issue in 2019 ? I am not sure why I haven't thought about it before.....or maybe there was and my memory is also failing !!! ( your memory is amazing by the way, the guided tour of Barcelona is proof of that !!).

cursus....I too like this set, but thought it was the 2018 issue. I seem to remember this was the set on offer the time I was there with you ? But I might well be wrong !!

More of those smudge-like marks as previously seen on the Queens chin, this time over parts of a SG#79a (Type III) of Bermuda. Found this the other day in that Commonwealth/Empire collection I am selling for a friend. Seeing the other post here reminded me I should put it up. So here it is !! 1934 issued, Perf 14. Watermark Multiple Script CA.

I just won this for 99 Aussie cents !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unlisted type (downward shift of Carmine), I thought I was dreaming. Not a 'new' event, a number of items, including this one (normal type, others) have already been shown. Lucky day.

philatelia.......here's a surprise for some (I guess). Although I only collect Cinderellas these days I do still love reading and learning about the postage types !! I just love stamps, period. To that end I still have one tiny corner of this with the 1937 South Africa Coronation issue (KGVI). I have a chart of all the tiny flaws that you wouldn't find in a regular catalogue and have been accruing mint & Used copies for 'when I have time'. Bi-lingual pairs are good too !! My goal is to recreate a sheet of each value as far as is possible. So if anyone has any spare copies they don't need, put them aside and we'll make an exchange. Londonbus1

To that end I will be sending out packets to Beryllium Guy , coastwatcher , brightonpete and cjoprey in the coming days which were from the Giveaways I ran at the wrong time (Coronavirus) !! Well not really wrong, just unfortunate. Anyway, they will all be on their way shortly together with a couple of promised packets for daveg28 and angore . Recently I have had little time for stamps and I have been disappointed once again with the Postal Services. I sent 7 packets out as long ago as a month+ and it appears only two have arrived which is very sad. I had made some test postings beforehand with 'dummy' contents and they all arrived. It will be pretty heartbreaking if all those nice stamps have disappeared. To show how annoying it is, I posted TWO registered packets to Beryllium Guy at the same time. One arrived very quickly while the other has gone AWOL !! Will the world ever get back to normal ? Londonbus1

Am I correct in assuming this terminology applies only to the New Zealand Chalons ? Or is it something specific to New Zealand in general ?

Another good read is the fictional tale of Stamps and lust with the Post Office Mauritius as the central part of the story. The Stamp Collector by David Benedictus (who sometimes has a table at Charing Cross !!).

I am requesting that the original poster change this thread title to something more presentable.

cursus.....What kind of treatment did you use to clean your stamps ? I had a visitor last week from Tel Aviv who brought with him his solution and gave me a demonstration. It worked perfectly. I'd be interested to know how you did.

I just had a better look at all the new products for the Queen issue and I have to say it is totally ridiculous and unnecessary.
Totally. RM are laughing at GB Completists and Queen fans who collect Music. A disgrace.

Just go after the stamps daveg28 ! You'd need to be a millionaire to get all of the products being issued. 'Over the top' it most definitely is !!
