David Feldman All World & Collections Including Rarities of the World December 11-12 2019

Dear Collector and Client, We are holding our traditional Autumn/Winter auction series from December 9 to 13, 2019, which comprises FIVE different catalogues. I am often reminded that without the trust and continued appetite of our passionate and active collector-clients, this sale would not be possible, so I would firstly like to thank all our sellers and future buyers for your continued support. Please note the sale is divided into three currency groups, the Europe and Overseas sections in this catalogue are in euros (EUR), the Switzerland section in Swiss Francs (CHF), while British Empire catalogue is in British pounds sterling (GBP). This catalogue highlights important sections of Belgium, China, Egypt, Hungary with a wonderful section of 100 lots, Italy & Italian States, Scandinavia and extensive arrays of one country and all world collections and lots. In addition we have featured many world rarities each presented on a separate page with our Rarities of the World logo (see special index on page 440). We will also hold a special viewing of all British Empire single lots and selected/requested large lots on December 6 at the Strand Stamp Fair, in Central London. If you have a request to view a specific lot please contact Ricky Verra at [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate you. In addition we will have many of the important collections from the sale on show at MonacoPhil from November 27 to November 30. It will be our pleasure to welcome you to Geneva, where the viewing of both small and large lots takes place from December 9th, and before that date by appointment. If you are planning to visit us, please inform us of your travel plans, and do not hesitate to ask should you need some assistance in the form of hotel reservations or other information. Frequent visitors to our auctions are quick to appreciate the extensive network of low-cost airlines offered by the nearby Geneva International Airport and the convenient proximity of the A1 motorway, located only a few minutes away. Should you not be able to view the lots at our offices, please consider that most of them, including numerous collections, are also scanned and available for viewing via our website www. davidfeldman.com . Bidding in our auctions can be made in writing via the enclosed bid form, live via the Internet or by telephone in the comfort of your home or office, or through an independent auction agent.
