Serbia, 1866-1943, the magnificent collection in 4 volumes, formed by the late George McNamara. One of the finest collections of this area ever formed, meticulously collected by an experienced professional philatelist over many years. Volume 1 contains stamps and a few covers from the period 1866 to 1903, including a huge amount of shade, printing and perforation varieties, bisects, unlisted imperfs, cancel varieties and used on piece, blocks of 4 and larger and some gutter blocks.

Yvert catalogs these at €13,615 (approximately $13,300). They are all signed, some several times, by E. Diena and others. This volume also contains an apparently complete selection of the German WWII Occupation issues, mostly mint, including several blocks and souvenir sheets.
