Hi, joined this morning. I am an Englishman living in South Spain for fifteen years. My wife, who is Nowegian, and i have two businesses here in Spain. She has recently inherited a small collection and we have no clue about the subject. I assume this forum runs along the same lines as a coin collecting forum that i am a member of and we can gain some knowledge from the members here as well as getting good advice as to what we should be reading.

Hello! Welcome.
Joining and posting gives you additional privileges to post, etc.
A starter approach is to post some images of what is in the collection to get an idea of what you have.

Greetings, expat, and welcome to TSF! I am an expat, too. I am from the US, but currently living in the UK. I understand about inherited collections, as I have received a few over the years. Please feel free to post any questions you may have, and we will try to help you find answers. All the best, Chris (aka Beryllium Guy)  |

to TSF! You've come to the right place. Don't hesitate to post questions and queries. We have had several threads about what to do when receiving a collection from someone else, you may find some ideas there. The Search function of the Forum is very useful to wander around to find those.
