Münster has got an airport! There is also an airport near Paderborn. Paderborn is about 100 km from Münster. I will travel to Münster on the 2. October- but only for one day. I am a member of the Forschungsgemeinschaft. So let me know. Perhaps we can travel together.

Remnants of the blue? See red arrows

A friend from me has got this stamp. I have no idea- it is not washed out....

asmodeus

No ideas? Literature?

I have got two letter sheets from Liverpool to Alexandria/ Egypt. Special rate: Printed Circular. I would like to know more about the printed circular service and the value of this material.

Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you! I will try and prepare a few booklets for the GBPS Packet Service.

No ideas?

Perhaps somebody can help me. I would like to prepare club booklets for the Packet Service and is it possible to use Hawid stripes instead of hinges?

Thanks for your help

@petrod: Thank you for your help and oppinion. It is only a small help to identify the plates. Other opinions?

asmodeus

Brown/Fisher discribes the watermarks in his books. But from which side? Normally I detect watermarks from the back.

@pennyred: Thank you for your posting.

asmodeus

I use the books from Brown/ Fisher and in the "Plate Charateristics" tables the position of the watermark is mentioned. How shall I dedect the watermark? From the front or back? Thanks for your help!

"I have been puzzled by this cover for a long time and would be glad if someone could explain what the extra 4 1/2 d were paid for."

7 1/2 P insurance+ 2 P registration+ 2,5 P postage= 12 P. Rest 2 1/2 P for the next additional ounce?

asmodeus

Could you show us a scan, please? Has it got the "E"- flaw in Postage?

asmodeus

I need your help! Here is a 2 Pence Plate 4 and I can not read the cancel. What a sort of cancellation is it? I think it is quiet unusual- a town dated postmark? Is it a better cancel on a line engraved stamp? Thanks for your help and opinion!

asmodeus

Thank you Mike. Osborne also mentions the thin and minute gap in his book.

asmodeus

I need help! I have got this stamp S.G. 13/15aa. It is from field BH. I think it is Plate 3, because the upper line of the right corner is thin and shows a minute gap at the inner end.
What do you think? It would be nice, if it be Plate 4! Early printing without Spectacle variety.

asmodeus

From which Queenstown does this cancel comes from? England or Ireland? Thanks for your help!

asmodeus

It is from a booklet. The watermark is upright.

http://www.gbps.org.uk/boards/images/transferred/412_1.jpg S.G. 572 with double perforation at the bottom. It is a genuine stamp- see left side of the stamp- there is a slightly doubling of the perforation. I can not find nothing in Specialised catalogue Vol. 3. Can anybody give me more information...

asmodeus

Break of the lines in height of the chin. I think it is a small flaw, but interesting. Has anybody noticed this flaw?

asmodeus

Thank you, petrod for your oppinion. I want to keep the booklets and I am searching for more information.

asmodeus

I bought these booklets recently and I noticed a very dark 18 Pence at one of the booklets. See scan please. The last booklet at the right hast got a deeper shade of the 18 P.. These booklets are from the series MCC Bicentenary. Worth a premium?

asmodeus

I can help you. I can copy you the article.

asmodeus

I found this retouch- retouched neck. Has anybody got a similar retouch?

asmodeus

Thank you for your help!

asmodeus

Can anybody tell me the postage rates from England to the Iraq? No air mail! I need the rates from 1923 up to the year 1940.

In press notice nr. P.N. 256 of 29.11.1923 an addition of 3d per ounce was given.

Where can I get these press notices?

asmodeus

This is a question from an member of the German Philatelic Society (BDPh). I hope you can help him!

"Does anyone know the maximum amount, which could be send to England
May 1927 in a insured letter (Wertbrief)?"

Thanks for your help!

asmodeus

It is Plate 9

asmodeus

Recently I got this 5 Shilling Bradbury and I noticed that the "5" is splitted. Could it be an error or only a eventuality?

asmodeus

Here is my socalled faint A36 Cylinder 2 No Dot.

asmodeus

Is the faint Control A36 Cylinder 2 No Dot a characteristic for dry printing?

asmodeus

Thank you. Is this a dull blue deeper shade?

asmodeus

Can anybody help me? Is this steel blue? I know it is difficult to determine a colour via PC!

asmodeus

Sorry- wrong SG number- forget the posting 114
