BRITISH AFRICA - WONDERFUL FINE USED COLLECTION. A large single album containing British African colonies from L to Z (Lagos to Zimbabwe) in unusually fine used condition from the early issues to 1985 with many better items, sets and entire colony ranges seen throughout.

There is too much to mention but typical highlights include such things as the Morocco Agencies Spanish 1907-12 set complete incl Seahorses set with 12p De La Rue SG 141; Nigeria 1914-29 10s SG 11c; Biafra 1968 definitives set SG 4/16 (rarely seen used); Northern Rhodesia 1925 defins set to 10s SG 1/16; Nyasaland 1891 set to 10s SG 1-14, 1895 5s SG 28, 1950 Postage Dues set SG D1/D5; Rhodesia 1897 £1 SG 73, Doubleheads to 2s, Admirals to 5s; St Helena 1912-16 set complete SG 72/81, 1922-37 Badge types set to 15s (cat £3500+, the top values with forged cds pmks); Seychelles incl 1906 set, 1912-16 set, 1917-22 most vals incl 1r to 5r SG 82-97, 1921-32 set SG 98/123, Sierra Leone with such things as the 1903 £1 purple / red SG 85, 1905 £1 purple / red SG 98, 1912-21 10s & £1 SG 127/128, 1921-27 10s SG 146, 1932 set SG 155/167, 1933 Wilberforce set SG 168/180; Somaliland 1904 2r, 3r & 5r SG 42/44 PLUS SO MUCH MORE. The items listed here barely scratch the surface of the overall contents where the collector made tremendous efforts to purchase attractive used stamps. We also see admirably comprehensive runs of the modern issues. Inevitably in a collection so large there will be a few forged or revenue postmarks and the odd fault here & there but this is a wonderful collection of a type rarely offered, on around 500 album pages. Highly recommended (approx 4800 stamps & miniature sheets) For more images, please visit https://www.sandafayre.com/itemdetails.aspx?s=645010
