Of special note in this sale is the comprehensive collection of French
Colonies General Issues used in the colonies. Collected during a lifetime
with the purpose of acquiring one example of each cancel used on as many
different issues as possible. A tall task by any means. Numerous scarce
markings/usages are abound. The collection is broken down by colony and
just a very few stamps have been removed to be offered by as individual
lots. The China area is particularly comprehensive with Annam, Tonkin and
Cochin China, French Africa incl. French Congo, Gabon, French Guinea, Ivory
Coast, Madagascar, Senegal, further Martinique, Reunion, Guadeloupe, French
Guiana, French India, Tahiti and more.
In addition there are a number of attractive and scarce issues from
virtually every area. Most of the "country" collections are under the
French Colonies Collections heading, but may also appear under each
separate colony.
Many of the better stamps in the sale have expert markings or old French
dealer markings on the back. Any stamp signed by Pascal Scheller, Paris
have been directly submitted by us. If the buyer wishes to obtain a
certificate for any of these stamps, or any other stamp in the sale, we are
able to obtain these at cost from Mr. Scheller.
Throughout the sale we have used the Scott catalogs as well as the Maury

current catalog for French Colonies.
