The house is particularly pleased about the spectacular find from one lot – the legendary “Inverted Flags” on the 30 cent stamp of the USA from 1869, not spared by the ravages of time, but apparently well hidden, because of the 40 stamped examples known to date, no description fits exactly to this piece now on offer, which is perhaps a new discovery. Zeppelin mail, German areas such as the foreign post offices (China / Military Mission Turkey), German Southwest Africa, Hamburg with the spectacular 33 Schilling postage to Chile, or Austria are also well represented in the single lot section this time. The Brazil section is particularly detailed this time, presenting a large number of pre-postage covers and covers from the stamp era, most of which are from the province of Minas Gerais and will also delight the advanced collector with many very rare cancellations.
In the collection section, the Hamburg-based company will be presenting the very fine and well-developed European country collections of an Italian professor of theology from Cremona. In addition, valuable items such as an old Germany collection for €4,500 starting price and a Zeppelin collection peppered with expensive covers for €3,500 will also be on display, as will a thematic collection on the last year of the war in 1945 and many collections of German territories, the British Commonwealth and European countries.
