Heinrich Koehler Auktionen Auction #364
Again in 2017, the last week of March is an important time for the firm of Heinrich Köhler, as the spring auction will take place from 20 to 25 March in Wiesbaden. Collectors await with much suspense the fabulous offerings of worldwide philatelic and postal history material, with which the traditional house even surpasses itself. Seven special catalogues (!), also a main catalogue with many special sections, will present a fine and varied selection of high-quality stamps, rare covers and exciting collections. No-one in the house of Heinrich Köhler can say offhand what the end result will be: what in any case is certain is that it is a truly unique offer of material - with more highlights than one can describe in a “short” overview!
