;) | BARBADOS TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (2,064) 1656-1899. Price £950 Amongst this extensive listing of 2,064 covers you can have confidence that previously unrecorded new discoveries abound. Barbados has always been very popular with its hand-struck pre-stamp markings, and later colourful Britannia design issues. Many areas can be selected to form an exhibit, and probably everything you expect will be there. This is also a very active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions arranged in chronological sequence which include the numbered Parish obliterators until they were replaced by bootheel design numbered killers in 1863. Many "loose" stamps have margins cut-down and offered as imperforates but this pdf will enlighten you so that you can spot the doctored items. This pdf is inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £950 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). Much to stimulate your interest here and knowledge quickly repays. £950 |
