In the 'pre-corona period' up to March 2020, we announced in our advertising the special catalogues 'Brian Moorhouse Estate - South & Central America' and 'Gregory Frantz - Stamp Issuing Steamship Companies'. Due to the worldwide 'corona lockdown' from mid-March 2020 onwards, the processing of these two important offers of material could unfortunately not be completed. We have postponed the sale of these collections until our next auction at the end of January 2021.
