Allied Occupation, "Variety Show" Riveting Mint Collection with Varieties, 1945-49, If you open up the Scott catalogue, a complete mint collection of the A.M.G. issue doesn't add up to all that much. But as any specialist armed with a Michel catalogue knows, there is way more to this issue and this lot explores the numerous varieties in color, gum and paper. Of course, there are the various perforations too, and some of these compounds can be quite scarce, such as one in this particular lot, MiNr. 32aCz (certified by Joe Bush). There are also some major misperfs and double perfs, as well as some eye-opening forgeries, like a tête-bêche sheetlet of the 8pf and a sheetlet of nine of the 80pf created by Peter Winter. And if you're also interested in blocks, we've got a bunch of them here, three additional volumes to be exact, two of which are for corner & inscription blocks, and the other for plate blocks, here too with a wide range of varieties in gum & paper, and diagrams pin-pointing the various plate flaws. A total of five hingeless Lindner albums in this engaging look at the storied issue, generally Fine to Very Fine, video flips of this entire collection can be accessed online.

Allied Occupation, Engrossing Used A.M.G. Collection with Covers, 1945-49, Beautiful and meticulously laid-out collection in four hingeless Lindner albums, one volume housing a powerful used collection with plentiful varieties and three volumes with approximately 100 covers and additional unused postal stationery. Complete as far as the Scott listings, but open up the Michel catalogue, and things start to get really interesting. For the Washington printing, you will encounter such things as a double impression of the 3pf (MiNr. 1DD) and a variety of plate flaws, such as 3 III, 3 IV, 8 I, 8 III, 8 IV, all with certs. And if you thought there were no expensive varieties of the London printing, once again drill down to the sub-varieties in the Michel catalogue. Given the perf & paper variations, there will inevitably be better, and some are here, like 10Gy & 13Gy (both signed). The same goes for the Brunswick printing with 24Cz & 26bDz, both of these signed as well. And if you're into the postal history of post-WWII Germany, this is a collection to treasure with the vast majority of covers diligently described. Some covers of note include a registered, cash-on-delivery return receipt letter with mixed printings of the AMG issue along with the 84pf from the Kontrollrat issue, another with a complete set of the Washington printing on a registered letter to Hamburg along with four Strausberg locals, and yet another registered letter, this one censored by the British and mailed the last day of authorized use of the AMG stamps, franked with a 60pf Brunswick printing along with two values from the Kontrollrat issue.
