Today I received a big Belgium lot. In fact it is four lots. This was bought in a Danish auction house. This week I will also get another lot from a Norwegian auction house. In this tread I will show what they contanis.

Here are the first pictures

Look under the big 5, FRANK and FRANKEN

I hope to be able to remove the 'rust'

Waw, nice lot you bought there, must have cost you something

I see a lot of nice old stamps, they look in ok a shape...

About the frank and franken, the franken in there is about 170 euro cat price (cob 2022), without the foxing that is

the frank comes in two types, type I and II

I: the 5 is cartilated inside

II: the 5 is smooth...

Oh and on the above stamps (nrs 126 - 127 - 128) statue de mérode red cross, there are a ton of forgery's, some easy to recognise, some hard...

The easy one can be exposed by looking at the Q in Belgique. If Q is an O (completely closed), definately a forgery!

I made a little manual on recognising the forgeries...

If you need any help on any of em, just call
