German Offices in the Turkish Empire, Superb Specialized & Comprehensive Collection. An absolutely remarkable, highly specialized collection, keenly assembled and identified by issue in a Schwaneberger album; reviewing this one-of-a-kind collection is simply a lesson in German Levant philately and, after deliberating, we decided it was best to offer the collection intact; the stamp portion is amazing and assembled by both Scott and Michel, but the Michel types are amazing, with many varieties present, very often authenticated by various BPP experts, etc.; one example would be the 25p on 5m (Scott #24 & 30), with all Michel types I-IV complete both mint and used, and expertized as needed; the Forerunner section features dozens of premium, well-struck examples and various Specimen overprints and items of cancellation interest are noted throughout; lots of select covers and items of postal stationery accent this amazing collection well, Fine to Very Fine or better, without question a "keep-sake" collection…be sure to view the images on the Web for a further flavor of this stellar collection.
