Auction 221 - Australia
A wide range of classic material awaits you in four catalogues:
in addition to the extensive offer of material in the main catalogue with philatelic and postal history material from all over the world, above all the specialised BESANÇON collection of Australia & Australian States collection has already 'made waves' in the run-up. Rarely has a comparable collection been offered in recent years, if not decades.
In the second part of the Jack Luder collection of cantonal and federal stamps, lovers of Swiss philately may look forward to its no less spectacular continuation. With the very rare Rayon II with complete framed cross on cover from Grandson to Aubonne, a rarity of the first rank being offered for sale. The continuation takes place in the Switzerland special catalogue with further classic rarities, Shipmail of Lake Konstanz as well as an exceptional range of soldiers’ stamps from the estate of Karlheinz Brunner.
The range of ‘philatelic material from all over the world’ in our Europe & Worldwide catalogue is of the highest standard: the collecting areas of Greek ‘Hermes heads, specialised according to printings and numbers printed, a fine Thailand collection, pioneer air mail of French Guiana and the Pierre Saulgrain collection of French pioneer air mail are outstanding.
