O8-105/O8-248, etc.

Valuable Collection of Used 5-Hole Perforated O.H.M.S. Official Stamps, neatly displayed on 14 album pages with catalogue numbers and descriptions. This collection was carefully assembled by an informed and knowledgeable collector over many years, from reliable sources. The Admirals are represented by 35 different stamps, including shades and wet / dry printings. The rest of the collection is only missing 9 items to be complete (at least as per the collector's album pages, not necessarily expensive items) and there is presence of back of the book in the form of 4 different Airmail and 2 different Special Delivery issues. When possible, the collector obtained c.d.s. examples, and attention was put towards obtaining high quality (only the 50c Bluenose has rough perforations on one side). By far the most complete collection of these we have handled, sure to please any collector or dealer. Centering varies, so we have catalogued the entire collection as fine-very fine overall, as there appears to be about half and half. It should be noted that we only catalogued those items which are listed in the 2022 Unitrade catalogue, but the collection includes another 32 stamps which the BNAPS Perfins Study Group has determined "not officially produced" (these denoted on pages as N/C). Shades were catalogued as regular listed items, all pages are scanned online. Sold as is.
