comprehensive and chronologically arranged in six volumes, virtually every whichway is included, that is to say not only the panes but also the se-tenants with virtually every combination including inter-panneaus and the horizontal and vertical X, also some good postal history incorporated into the collection, generally fresh and F-VF, substantial catalogue value and a recommended view. 

The last part of an important range of booklets / booklet panes, sheets and sheetlets consignment housed in two albums from 1945 numeral types se-tenants and then first workers definitives with the scarce blocks and booklets, booklet panes, etc. For example, we have noticed Michel MHB 1-6, equally scarce are the mint booklets themselves with a sustained range of good material including se-tenants, interpanneaus with and without advertising, yet further good booklets which according to Michel are also very important, all this combined with the in depth collection itself, i.e. virtually all the worker types to the later definitives, etc., this collector knew what he was doing and this collection is thoroughly recommended for those particularly looking for the really scarce material of the first years of East Germany.

A blue Schwaneberger album with as far as we can see no empty spaces and occasional material outside the box, with the good S/S including the Debria, Karl Marx Year perf and imperf NH, Engels NH, the strip of 10 imperf 1960 125 Years of Trains NH, Michel #805b (cat €400) and ending with some particularly good officials such as the 1960s Verwaltungspost A, the 1963 first control series of Michel #1-15 followed by the scarce second control series of Michel #16-30 complete NH (€400), also the scarce Vertrauliche Dienstsache of 1965 with the usual blotchy paper Mi #1 NH (€320) and the equally scarce 1965 ZU bluish green NH (Mi €300), also present the scarce se-tenants for the different towns on pelure paper, a strong collection of this country with far more than normally encountered. 

complete booklets holding 1000s of definitive and topical panes filling up a shoebox; a quick inspection reveals nearly all in pristine P.O. fresh condition, certainly some Michel listed varieties to be found, needs much time and patience, yet worthwhile.

 old fashioned album beginning with Post Offices in China with the first set complete used to 5rm, as well as the overprints on the eagles at the different angles, save the world rarities yet including different shades, also occasional duplication with different postmarks, then the next overprints to $1½ on 3rm, followed by the subsequent complete set to $2½ on 5rm; Post Offices in Morocco complete with the eagles 60cts on 50pf and Reichspost 6pes 25cts on 5rm, further studies of the subsequent definitive with more 6pes 25cts on 5rm and various other denominations both mint and used, Post Offices in Turkey including forerunners through to shields to 1¼ pi on 25pf, through to eagles complete and pictorial defins to 10pi on 2rm, followed by gothic type to 15pi to 3rm and 25pi on 5rm.
