A highlight - and as we think, quite rightly, on the title page - is the mixed franking Ethiopia/French Somaliland from 1906. This alone is worth an exclamation mark, but it gets even better. The vast majority of such mixed frankings made their way to Europe, only a handful to other parts of the world. The present letter with destination China is according to all known sources the only one existing and has thus an exceptional position!
The "second look" is the next story! While describing the following lot by the author, the second look was paired with unbelieving amazement. Sure, Saarland service Mi. 33-44 real stamped and accordingly certified: "...yes, not bad, one can take...". But wait, there is something else! And the second look revealed the secret of the planned exclamation, a first day cover! Personally in the hands holding, was then a premiere and the present colleagues did not go it much better...
This is truly only a small excerpt and certainly also influenced by personal feelings. We are sure that you will find your personal highlight, perhaps even your highlights, on the journey through the offer.
