Very nice quality throughout, with many postmarks which should be of interest. The Scott catalogue value given assumes that all items are genuine, and does not include the pages either not counted, or counted in Euros using the Yvert Colonies catalogue. All pages have been scanned online. A great opportunity to acquire such an interesting and intact collection.
