Description
JAPAN COLLECTION
A very extensive collection in three Illustrated volumes.
- Volume 1, 1871 to 1845
- Volume 2, 1946 to 1960
- Volume 3, 1961 to 1963
The collection almost complete and too extensive to describe.
Only the 1934 Air Mini Sheets missing!
Due to the complexity of these issues; the early definitives including the Dragons, which are represented in their various printings have been excluded from the catalogue calculation (Estimated Value) .
These very early period definitives representing 1% of the collection are of “fine used” quality, with the rest of the collection(99%) is of Mint quality.
The collection is housed in Japanese albums.
Some of the early mint issues have the characteristic “egg-shell” gum common of those issues.
Also includes are:
- Ryukus Island
- Military mail
- Burma occupation
- Japanese Dutch East Indies
- Occupation of Malay
- Manchukuo
Estimated catalogue Value, 20,600 Pounds excluding the Dragons.
