David Feldman - France & Colonies December 5 2018 um 14:00 Uhr

Dear Collectors and friends, We are holding our traditional Autumn auction series, fromDecember 3 to 7, 2018, which comprises five different catalogues. Please consult our website to view or download all the catalogues at www.davidfeldman.com . We would like to heartily thank our many hundreds of consignors from all parts of the world who have entrusted us with their collections, recognising our company’s ability to present their stamps and postal history in the best way to an extensive and knowledgeable collecting public. Indeed, needless to say, that without the trust and continued appetite of our passionate and active collector-clients, this sale would not be possible. This Europe, Overseas and All World collections catalogue highlights important sections of Egypt, France and Colonies, Greece with Large Hermes Heads, Italy and States, Switzerland and USA – including the wonderful collection of Waterbury cancellations – all presented in over 2000 lots. Other notable highlights are one-country collections and lots, plus general all world collections throughout and a fine array of important individual rarities, including Greece Paris 20L imprint block of twenty-five, Peru 1858 1/2p error of colour on cover to France, etc. Our clients have come to know and value our All World Collections section with many fresh lots housed in albums andboxes. Our latest offering continues this traditionwith a selection of country collections, mixed lots andgeneral collections originating mostly from estates. Indeed, practically all of the following material has not been on the market for an average of over twenty years, which will, no doubt, add to its attractiveness for potential buyers. It is, therefore, our pleasure to welcome you to Geneva, where the viewing of both small and large lots takes place from December 3th, 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 formof 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 completely scanned and available for viewing via our website www.davidfeldman.com . Please note that the Europe, Overseas and Rarity catalogues are in EUROS, while all British Empire and Indian States are in POUNDS STERLING and the Switzerland is in SWISS FRANCS. We will also hold a special viewing of all British Empire and India States single lots and selected/requested large lots on November 9 at the Strand Palace Show, located at the Royal National Hotel, 38-51 Bedford Way, Bloomsbury, London.
