57th AUCTION at 16. October - 20 October 2023
The IBRA 2023 in Essen was also an extremely successful event for our auction house. In countless discussions, existing contacts were intensified, new ones made and important consignments acquired.
The idea of publishing a catalog of rarities for this auction, i.e. presenting the ”creme de la creme8 in an appropriate setting, came up in Essen and we are happy to follow this idea. A highlight of this auction - the four units of the One Penny Black - could already be presented at the IBRA. Other remarkable pieces are e.g. the early foreign letters from old Germany (including two Baden letters to Peru and Venezuela or a letter from Hamburg to Chile in 1864), an absolutely unique and recently discovered 1.80 lire franking on a letter from Parma to Vienna in 1859, rarest test stamp booklets of the Federal Republic of Germany and the 1st part of the collection "Private Post German Reich" by Horst Müller. In addition, there are many special pieces that hardly anyone knows. Or have you ever seen the Clipperton Island stamps?
In any case, the entire auction team hopes you enjoy looking through our 5 catalogs (plus "Rarities") with more than 10,000 lots.
We have already received a number of top-class consignments for the upcoming auctions (February 12-16, 2024), and we would also like to present a consignment from you.

What do a Wehrmacht Leica and a canceled and damaged Berlin souvenir sheet have in common?
Maybe you know them: Both are easy to counterfeit. Be especially careful if you find one at a flea market or on one of the many platforms on the Internet, possibly as a supposed bargain. The cheaply offered Wehrmacht Leicas are usually replicas or conversions by fraudsters who use them to make fools of people; the stamps on the currency-damaged blocks are often wrong or fake. How should a collector without experience deal with this?
I quote Aurel Bacs, one of the world's most influential watch experts: "Read all about its model, immerse yourself in its history, and learn to navigate the universe of timekeeping. As in art, the more you know, the better you buy. And the more you understand about the subject, the more you will enjoy it. Now, stamps and covers are not watches - but Mr. Bacs' advice can certainly be taken to heart in philately. Here are two examples of many: Whether you want to check the gum of a stamp in case of suspected regumming, or whether you want to check a cancellation to see if it was made with an original tool or with a remanufactured lead cliché - in both cases, knowledge is required. This knowledge is easy to acquire today. In the age of the Internet, information is easily accessible. Forums such as "stampsX" offer extensive databases of stamps, as well as advice on how to identify forgeries, printing methods, and much more.
There is an abundance of printed literature on the various collecting areas, and it is easy to obtain. Also the publications of the working groups are recommendable to become acquainted with a collecting area. Anyone who thinks he can get a bargain should think twice before spending money. Even experienced auctioneers do not know everything. Continuing education and reading the latest publications are just as important as having an archive that has been built up over many years and can be consulted whenever necessary. The specialists in our company also keep their knowledge up to date, are often in contact with experts, and thus guarantee our customers the greatest possible security when purchasing collector's items.
Here is a quote from Plato: "There is no shame in not knowing, but there is in not wanting to learn. I would add "...and not to protect oneself from harm". I cordially invite you, dear friends of philately, to the viewing and to the auction days.
