Description
1882-1921 An extraordinary original archival holding 1000s of mostly mint/unused reprinted stamps, with the majority in complete sets in full sheet format. The key sections are the 1882 ‘suns’ including the 1882 10ch pink and rose(Scott #51) and 5ch green (#53) in panes of 100 and over 100 examples of the scarce engraved 25ch green (#52), as well as the ‘officiel’ surcharges with 1885 6ch on 5ch green (#66) in mint block of 20 and block of 10 and the 1887 3ch on 5ch in mint block of 25 – the stamps are reprints. Then the five values of the 1902 ‘provisoire 1319’ handstamps on ‘CHAHI’ issues (#235/239) in full sheets of 24, similarly the 1902 red lion overprints on type I to 1k (#247/253) and type II to 12ch inc. 3ch green and yellow(#280/285) in full sheets, as well as further positional studies of the 5ch type II with major constant varieties identified, followed by sheets of the 5 krans surcharge on 5k ochre and blue with sequential sheet numbers (#308), the ‘P.L.TEHERAN’ local provisionals with black and red o/ps (#315a, 317/318), blue octagonal lion overprints complete (#321/340) and much more through to the 1921 ’21.FEV.1921’ overprints on coronation issues. It very unlikely to find such an original reprint accumulation again. A wonderful holding, do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (1000’s)
