One medium box filled with a few hundred mint stamps in singles and sets, including pairs and blocks of four. Noted presence of commemoratives, definitives, postage dues, officials, etc. Stamps appear to be clean and fresh, but they are housed in crumbling glassines, in a couple well-worn sales sheets, and on a damaged stock page. Found a few better pairs and many imprint and arrow blocks. Could be the foundation of a successful collection of this popular country’s stamps. (Image)

Angolan Border Mail fourteen frame cover exhibit from 1975 to 1984 which was developed by the South African philatelist, William Alexander Page which received a silver award at the 1986 Johannesburg Stamp Show. Consists of about 285 covers mostly from the South African Defense Force (SADF) soldiers and South African Police (SAP) units who were based on the Angolan border in northern Namibia starting in 1975 and continuing until about 1989. Also includes detailed information of SADF and SAP censor marks, clippings from the South African press, maps, and other ephemera. Very difficult to find and unique and hard to assembly in today’s philatelic market. Remounting would enhance this selection. (Image)
