Dear Collector & Client,
It gives us great pleasure to offer over 1’600 lots of Europe, Overseas, Collections,
Thematics and Aerophilately in this paperless auction catalogue. The auction will
take place on Sunday 7th December 2025 at 10am CET.
The catalogue begins with the section of Europe which features better Austria,
Germany and States, Greece Olympics issues, Italy and Italian States, a wonderful
range of Luxembourg with important first issue stamps and covers, Romania, Russia
and Yugoslavia. The Overseas section follows with interesting China from pre-stamp
onwards through to PRC, as well as a small section of Japan.
The All World collections section features a range of material on offer with plenty of
interest for the dealer or adventurous collector! These lots are best viewed in person
but many of them will have at least representative scans on our website or even
scanned in their entirety. And there’s some particularly attractive thematic collections
that follow such as the extensive Chess collection (41539), Horse collections (41526-
41530) and the Football exhibition collection (41568).
The catalogue concludes with Maritime and Aerophilately, and of particular note is
the section of Zeppelins which includes three Hindenburg disaster covers as well
as a major collection of Zeppelin covers (41597). For the airmail enthusiast, please
check throughout our Autumn auction series for more airmail stamps and covers, in
particular the Latin America & USA catalogue.
We wish you success with your bids and satisfaction with your purchases!
