1689 **/*/piece/cover/(*) image1918 Hand Overprints Specialised & Certified Exhibition Collection.
A unique and highly specialised collection of the 1918 Hand
Overprints, attractively presented on twenty-six display leaves and
comprising 200 stamps, over 40 pieces, and 4 covers. The study
begins with the first trial overprint and continues with examples
from each of the six handstamps employed, providing a comprehensive
overview of the hand-applied overprint issues. While letterpress
forgeries are well known and widely encountered, forgeries of the
handstamp overprints are comparatively scarce. The material offered
here has been carefully identified and expertised, with items
signed or endorsed by Oliva or Diena, and described accordingly,
including a selection of forgeries; a significant assurance of
authenticity in this complex field. The collection includes hand
overprints on the Hungarian “Reapers,” Parliament, Charity, and
Karl & Zita issues, represented both mint and used, with numerous
examples on piece and a small selection of covers. The breadth of
material allows for detailed comparison of handstamps, settings,
and usages. A remarkable, self-contained and authoritative
assembly, rarely encountered in such depth and ideal for specialist
study or exhibition. Note: Oliva and Diena worked in collaboration
with the late Roy Dehn, who, during the 1950s–1960s, assembled much
of the material now written up in this collection. Provenance: Ex

comprehensive study of the 1918 Machine Overprints, attractively
presented on 19 display pages and covering both Type I and Type II
settings, together with 9 covers demonstrating commercial usage.
The collection includes a strong range of listed varieties,
notably: missing “I” in “FIUME”, double overprints, including one

fine used example (Sassone € 8’000), accompanied by a Mihály
certificate. Also included is a folded sheet of 100 of Sassone 26
with original gum; an impressive and rarely encountered survival.
The Type II section is especially strong on postage dues, with an
excellent range of examples, most signed by Oliva, providing
important expert validation in this heavily forged field. Condition
is mainly fine, with only the occasional minor imperfection as to
be expected. A valuable and well-constructed specialised assembly
with a catalogue value in excess of Sassone € 28’000. Provenance:

detailed and chronologically arranged study of the 1919 Pictorial
Series key values, presented on forty-three display pages and
covering all five issues. The collection comprises unused and used
material throughout, with many larger multiples, blocks, and no
fewer than 19 complete sheets. First Issue (Paper “A”), includes a
sheet of the key values 10 c. and 20 c., together with a half sheet
showing the variety “Triple Perforation” at top; a striking and
scarce production flaw. Second Issue (Paper “B”), features a 5 c.
part sheet (61 of 70) displaying horizontal double rows of
perforations, creating the notable variety of a vertical pair with
double perforation at centre. Third Issue (Paper “C”), strong in
multiples of the key 20 c., 5 c., and 10 c. values, including
complete sheets of the 5 c. and 10 c. unused with original gum.
Also present are rare 10½ perforation examples signed Oliva,
vertical pairs imperforate at centre, and the perforation variety
resulting in the inscription “Fiume” missing (Martinas certificate,
Sassone C33/Ikb). Fourth Issue “POSTA FIUME”, includes the rare 25
c. 10½ perforation, endorsed by Oliva. Fifth Issue Overprints on
the Fiume Issue, highlighted by the scarce 5 on 45 c. arancia
(Oliva certificate), together with additional varieties and
overprint studies on the Posta Fiume issues. In addition, the
collection contains a number of described forgeries and duplicates
for comparison and study. A thoroughly researched and
exhibition-ready specialised collection, rich in sheets, major
perforation varieties, a number of rarities, and comparative
material in overall fine condition; an outstanding representation

includes: 20 c. and 25 c. essays (certificate Raybaudi), unused set
including the key value (signed Diena), issued stamps including the

such as vertical pairs with the upper stamp without overprint

Roy Dehn’s Original Forgery Reference Collection with original
working reference collection and manuscript studies of Fiume
forgeries, comprising his Index Falsorum and A Comparative Study of
Forgeries; an exceptional insight into one of the most complex and
heavily forged areas of European philately. Three "fantasy
overprints are shown followed by five forged hand-stamps. Machine
overprint forgeries are particularly prolific in the Fiume field,
and Dehn systematically presents and describes no fewer than 32
examples. The Index Falsorum further documents forged postage dues,
fabricated double and inverted overprints, forged “Reapers” and
Parliament issues, examples of the missing “I” in “FIUME”, and
concludes with three forgery types of the 20 f. postage due
overprinted with bar “FRANCO” and “45”. The accompanying
Comparative Study of Forgeries, compiled by Dehn and demonstrating
his advanced knowledge of the subject as early as 1965, was awarded
a Silver Medal at the British Philatelic Exhibition 1965
(certificate included). Although a number of stamps have been
removed over time, Dehn’s original manuscript annotations
identifying and analysing the forgeries remain intact, preserving
the integrity and research value of the study. Also present are
genuine examples, including: 5 f. Reaper, handstamp Type II (signed
Oliva), Military “new value” 20 c. black overprint, 1 l. on 25 c.
red overprint. The remaining genuine material alone catalogues
approximately € 5’000. Condition mixed in places, as expected in a

important forgery reference, essential for serious students of
Fiume and an invaluable guide to navigating this notoriously

Austrian period. Among the highlights is an interesting letter from
Fiume to Sisak franked with eight examples of the 1 kr. (one stamp
removed). The Austrian stamp section includes a fine selection of
cancellations, many very fine strikes, notably: 1850 6 kr. Type I,
hand-made paper, showing a plate flaw, cancelled by the Fiume
registered “RECOMMENDIRT” oval serpent handstamp, signed by E.
Diena and accompanied by a MATL certificate. Also, 1867 25 kr. and
50 kr., both signed by Ferchenbauer. Condition varies, as to be
expected with early material, but the collection is overall
well-presented and of considerable postal-historical and philatelic
interest. An impressive and characterful assembly spanning over
three centuries of postal history, offering both exhibition merit
and further scope for expansion. Provenance: Ex John Pitts.

visually engaging and wide-ranging assembly, rich in postal history
interest, and well suited for exhibition or further specialised

1701 cover image1918/1919: Postal History Specialised Exhibition Collection. A
well-researched and attractively presented postal history
collection mounted on sixteen exhibition pages, comprising 31
covers illustrating the turbulent transitional period of 1918–1919.
Of particular note is a scarce cover postmarked 17 November 1918,
cancelling Hungarian stamps overprinted “SHS / HRVATSKA”; one of
only a handful of recorded examples. The collection displays a
strong range of single and combination frankings, including
registered and express mail from Post Offices 1, 2, 3, 5, and two
examples from Post Office 6. Also included are postage dues and
five bisect usages. Additional highlights include: four covers
marked undelivered, two with German instructional markings, one in
Serbo-Croat, all relating to the postal strike in Vienna. Of
particular interest are two covers that raise questions regarding
postal integrity, including one bearing a forgery of the 20 f.
postage due label with “FRANCO 45” overprint, accompanied by its
postal receipt; a remarkable and revealing survival. A carefully
assembled and thoroughly annotated exhibit-ready collection,
combining rarity, controversy, and significant transitional postal
history. Provenance: Ex John Pitts. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5) (Image 6) (Image 7) (Image 8) (Image 9) (Image 10) (Image 11) (Image 12) (Image 13) (Image 14) (Image 15) (Image 16) (Image 17) (Image 18) (Image 19)
