Forerunners for Jersey will be stamps of the UK postmarked on Jersey, prior to Jersey issuing her own stamps. This thread is intended to get some focus on these small pieces of Jersey Postal hisotry. I've been been on the lookout and collecting them for a few years - but haven't found very many my self, about 10, half of which are penny reds in poor condition. This changed yesterday - when I won this collection at a ridiculous low price Anyone else collecting them? Please share them with us!

WOW, fantastic catch! Off course I collect Jersey forerunners, but I never expect to see such a delicious blend in my own collection. Keep it up!

Neither did I! Chances are that some of these Jersey forerunners will eventually find their way into your album Jens - quite useful material for our next stamp-trade-session in barbu
