Where to start okay let's get inspired.  2014 x6m 0 60If the picture isn't your thing.  Pretty boring right? Not so fast.How about a 107 page book devoted to one stamp?  This could lead to maybe exploring this book as well?  Which could lead to another page in the collection that resembles this.  |

The term Mountie always brings memories of Sgt Preston. More so than the usual US western TV characters.

I too have a few mint and used Mountie in my hoard. I never knew there were that many varieties.
i must admit that I have never seen an episode of the TV show mentioned in this post. Never showed on either of the two TV channels we had.

Here is another fun flaw to look for Unitrade 223 iv "Bird Cage" variety. A small curved line above the horses back (circled in enlargement).   |
