Post subject: | Crimean War postal history |
Hello All. I've been a member for a few months now. I collect and research Crimean War postal history and other documents. Are any other members interested in this topic? If so please let me know. Thanks. |

Adrian, I don't have a special interest other than its an important part of world history, but wish you well with your collecting interest. I hope you have seen the superb Crimean War PH display by an Italian doctor (was at Stampex a year ago) and have items like this one that was on e-whatsit a couple of months ago, showing the 1856 peace celebration at Trafalgar Square https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GB-Newspaper ... 4685600646 |

Hello Winston W. Thank you very much for responding to my post and even though you aren't particularly interested in that aspect of postal history, it's really nice to receive a reply so I know that at least someone has read and appreciates my request and interest. The irony of this is that I have found no one else in the UK who specialises in this subject though I have made contact with people in Europe who do. I do have my share of really good envelopes and letters though they aren't quite as good as those of the Italian doctor. Incidentally he is a New York neurosurgeon so he probably has deeper pockets than I do but I have been told by a mutual contact that he doesn't want to talk about his collection and I got no response when I emailed him. I purchase Crimean War material wherever I can find it if it interests me. This includes ebay though I tend to treat this with caution. There are lots of interesting newspapers on there but the only one I bought was a copy of the Manchester Guardian from 1854 which had a newspaper stamp. Thanks very much for your best wishes and the same to you whatever you collect. Are you also interested in postal history? |
