 Extensive collection crammed into a 32pp stockbook, mostly mint with numerous better items & long sets from Algeria, Cameroun,
Dahomey, Djibouti, French Guinea, French Somaliland, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Senegal et Niger, Ubangui-Chari, etc, generally fine to very fine, Cat £4500+. The often chaotic layout makes scanning almost impossibnle. It also means we have probably
overlooked some better material, and these factors make inspection a must.
