 An impressive variety of material in a stock book from the first issues onwards through to the third series to 5fr, also much useful 1920s/50s issues with occasional minor duplication, better airmails include mint assorted Birds with some perf varieties, also noticed France 1918 Red Cross issue, somewhat chaotic and usual mixed condition with most F-VF; viewing highly recommended.

 Several 100s of stamps mint and used, inc quantity of m/s but nothing in excessive duplication, also occasional block se-tenants etc, with considerable new issue cost housed in 1 volume. Some early classic defins with huge catalog and leading on to much modern. Offered intact as received, worthwhile and interesting.

detailed study of the 19th century issues with much not listed in Scott, particularly the perforation varieties, for the first monarch portraits alone there are over 180 examples, there are also subsequent issues, however of course the most interesting part is the 19th century. Extraordinary in its scope, housed in one volume and will delight the specialist looking for the unusual.
