PREFACE: Welcome to the 14th Falkland Islands &
Dependencies + Antarctica Auction. There are 762 lots from no less
than 16 different vendors, including many interesting and unrecorded
items from the collections of the late Madge Biggs and Father
Monaghan. There is a good selection of stamps and postal history from
the QV, KEVII and KGV periods, but the KGVI period is outstanding,
both in stamps and postal history. The QEII period offers many good
varieties, Postal Stationery is well represented with several scarce
items, Censor Mail and Air Mail is very strong, and the 1982 Islas
Malvinas period is exceptional with many great and previously unknown
rarities. Good sections of postal markings and Maritime Mail is
followed by a very comprehensive offering of Departmental Cachets
including rare and unrecorded items! The Dependencies stamp section
contains some scarce items, South Georgia has some good covers
including many whaling items, and the other Dependencies also offer
some interesting covers. The Expeditions etc section contains an
unusually interesting mix and the St Helena, Miscellaneous and
Literature sections round off the sale.
As usual there is a lot of material in this sale and I hope that
everybody who receives the catalogue will be able to find something
of interest. Please note that all catalogue numbers and values quoted
are from the Specialised Stamp Catalogue of the Falkland Islands and
Dependencies, fifth edition, unless otherwise stated. If you require
further information about any lots, or photocopies, please let me
know as soon as possible. I look forward to seeing you during the
viewing and to receive your bids.
