5 WELCOME Dear friends and fellow philatelists Welcome to our 47th sale, which is one of the largest we have had both in terms of number of lots and value. There are a number of standout sections, particularly the USA, with singles and sets of the Classics and plenty of collections with early material. There is also good France, Germany including Colonies and States, Italian Colonies and good worldwide collections. A special mention must go to the USA c mint strip of 3, Lot This is catalogued a whopping 29,500 as singles. Our research shows a strip of 4 sold in the USA for $15,500 recently. Our estimate is much lower. The British Commonwealth begins with a quarter million pound catalogue value stock of King George VI, then a large GVI collection with varieties and a valuable collection with many KGV sets and high values. There are plenty of one country collections with lots of high values and good stamps, and hundreds of lots of individual singles and sets to choose from. Our Great Britain section includes a number of Estates with penny blacks both on and off cover, a large collection of RAF covers, through to QEII varieties and missing colours on the Hastings strips. Also worth a mention is our India section with old time collection of Indian States on old leaves. We also have quite a good coin selection this time with 60 lots of various coins from Sovereigns to tubs of coppers to Chinese knife currency, plus a very good library of coin and stamp books formed by an avid philatelist and numismatist. These lots are not to be missed as there are some very scarce out of print books here.

Clause 2 (a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer, and they shall have the right to refuse any bids or lots.

(b) The purchaser of each lot shall immediately on its sale if required by the auctioneer give to them the name and address of the purchaser and pay to the auctioneer at their discretion the whole or part of the purchase money. If the purchaser of any lot fails to comply with any such requirement the auctioneer may put up again and re-sell the lot; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained than was obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and expenses of re-sale which shall become a debt due from them.
