Both collections,

Introduction
Dear Collector and Client,
It gives us pleasure to present this paperless catalogue
of Europe, Overseas, Collections and Thematics. The
auction will start at 10am on Thursday June 18th. The
section of Egypt at the end will start the next day at 10am.
This Europe section features particularly strong
sections of Greece, Italian States and Italy, as well as
better German States and Germany, Luxembourg and
Romania. The Overseas features our usual offering of
Egypt at the end. And in between is a section of all world
collections and estates as well as thematic interest.
The Greece includes an attractive range of Large
Hermes Heads including some fabulous collections,
including lot 30400 which includes over 13’000
stamps! This is followed by stand-out essays and
proof material from the 1900s to 1960s, as well as the
final part of the Kalocsai collection of 1896 and 1906
Olympic Games.
The Italian States features a stunning section of
the Trinacria and Savoy Cross issues of Napoli, the
vast majority plated, including varieties and usages
including on complete newspapers and on cover.
There are also some knock-out frankings from
Modena, Papal States and Tuscany (including the
office favourite, lot 30740, an 1853 cover sent to the
Shetland Islands!). In Italy, we starts with some rare
proofs and essays from the Dr. Azizkhan collection
and finishes with plenty of attractive collection lots.
Two particular properties I’d also like to highlight
include the estate of the late Stewart Gardiner FRPSL,
which mostly features in the Europe and Overseas
catalogue (all noted in the description as . Stewart was
an extremely friendly, warm and gentle person, and
would always come to chat with me during the quiet
moments during the Scottish Congress in Perth. He
also had a very good philatelic eye and was an unusual
collector in that he dabbled in buying and creating
specialised collections from all over the world. Most
of his lots are being offered intact, but we had to make
the aforementioned Tuscany cover to the Shetlands a
single lot at least! Please also see his stunning Large
Gold medal collection on Sealing a Letter, which is lot
10299 in the GB & Empire catalogue.
The other property worth mentioning that is spread
throughout the auction series are the working material
from Sperati, featuring glass clichés he used to
produce his forgeries, proofs, printed stamps as well
as documentation and literature (see lots 32120-129
in the collections section). You can find all these lots
easily on our website by selecting “Sperati” from the
list of categories on the auction lot listing.
And finally the Egypt section at the end pretty much
spans the whole collecting area, with over 400 lots
including foreign offices, definitives from the first
issue onwards, Commemoratives and back-of-the-
book issues, with essays, proofs, control blocks,
varieties, etc. throughout.
The David Feldman team strives for excellence in the
lotting and promotion of every property entrusted to us,
and we’d like to thank all our vendors for showing their
faith in us to present their items and collections in a
catalogue worthy of displaying their philatelic treasures
in their best possible light. We wish you success with
your bids and satisfaction with your purchases.
