Dear collector and client, We are proud to present another important sale of Persian philately and postal history. The sale includes many very rare, and sometimes unique, shade and colour varieties of the primitive Lion issues, as listed in the new Persiphila Iran Philatelic Reference, Volume 1 – Lions of Iran, 6th Edition, by Mehrdad Sadri. It is also noted that many of the Lion issues have either Persiphila certificates and or signatures of Mehrdad Sadri. Additionally, an attractive array of the Portrait issue postal history is offered, plus much, much more, including some wonderful collections throughout. Hence, this sale offers to the market a wealth of material and an excellent basis for new collectors of this exciting field to expand their horizons and add to their collections. David Feldman strives for excellence in lotting, presentation and promotion of every major property entrusted to us. We invite you to visit us in person or via the internet to examine and determine those lots which may be of interest to you. We hope the results will be strong throughout the auction, justifying our efforts and pleasing our vendors –but of course, that is up to you the clients! We wish you success with your bids and satisfaction with your purchases. Geneva, September 2018 Marcus Orsi Chief Philatelist Introduction
