Saudi Arabia
The Willie King collection of Saudi Arabia, a country whose adhesive stamps from 1916 and even postal
history has been universally beset by doubts of forgery, whether it be of overprint or cancellation. It is
therefore a pleasure to offer these rare stamps, many of which had print runs in the low hundreds rather
than in thousands, and be able to bid in the knowledge that all the offered items are genuine in all respects,
as nearly every stamp in this collection has a competent expert certificate or signature and most are plated
to individual sheet positions. This first part features the early Hejaz issues, with splendid multiples and
nearly all the listed varieties offered for the first time in many years. I must thank the owner, as it has been a
privilege to learn more about the Hejaz issues whilst lotting and describing this collection.

was probably a Proof sheet for approval by King Hussain or the Hejaz Post Office. All of

Zeppelin: Weihnachtsfahrt
(12. Südamerikafahrt) vom 8. bis 19. Dezember 1934
Nachfolgend offerieren wir eine umfassende Zusammenstellung mit Belegen zur Weihnachtsfahrt.
Der Sammler hat über Jahrzehnte versucht, alle Belege der Vertragsstaaten zusammenzutragen, was ihm
bis auf wenige Ausnahmen auch gelungen ist. Dass einige Briefe oder Karten auch in dieser grossen Zeit-
spanne nicht am Markt erhältlich waren (Jemen, Litauen etc.) spricht für die ausgesprochene Seltenheit der
einzelnen Zulieferungen zur Abschlussfahrt für das Jahr 1934. Für den engagierten Sammler bietet sich
hiermit die Gelegenheit, einzelne Lücken in seiner Sammlung zu schliessen.

The Barry J. E. Scott FRPSL International Gold Medal Collection

IMPERIAL AIRWAYS LIMITED 1924 - 1940
The collection built up over a period of twenty five years shows the development of the air mail system by Imperial
Airways from the forerunners up to 1940.
Imperial Airways was formed after advice by the British Government selected committee formally known as the
“Hambling Committee” who reported to the House on 15 February 1923. This report stated that the existing private
Airline companies should be merged into one company that could develop an external air service for Britain and
the Empire. An agreement was reached between the President of the Air Council and the Foreign and Colonial
Corporation on 3 December 1923 and the first daily flight between London (Croydon) and Paris (Le Bourget)
was commenced 26 April 1924. The expansion of the European air routes were started progressively and Imperial
Airways as the “Chosen Instrument” by the British Government’s air mail plan to extend the air services to India,
South Africa and later to the Empire countries in Australasia, formally took over the route between Cairo and
Baghdad from the RAF on 1 January 1927, adding immediately Basra to the route.
The collectors primary interest in the air mails was not so much the advent of first flight covers, but rather the
commercially flown mail, showing the different routes and rates, legs and feeder services from Europe to Australia
as well as the IA Service from Egypt to South Africa and vice versa. This includes scarce destinations, routings
and route expansions.
The finest Imperial Airways collection put together to date in the considered knowledge of several senior FIP

International Gold Medal collection New Zealand Prisoner of War Air Letter Cards 1941-1945
ex 908 Start price Start price

in CHF approx. €
908< The International Gold awarded one frame Exhibit of NEW ZEALAND PRISONER OF
WAR AIR LETTER CARDS 1941 - 1945 formed by Barry Scott FRPSL showing all the
recorded types of mint and/or used Air Letter Cards produced by the Government Printers
in Wellington, initially issued on Monday Nov. 17th 1941, showing all nine issues with
the recorded errors, varieties and wrappers known. The sixteen page exhibit starts each
issue with a mint example, 7th issue with a complete set of five mint cards plus wrapper,
continuing with earliest recorded usages including 1/6 d. stationery card used on Nov. 18th
(2nd day of issue) to Germany, first issue card with un-watermarked variety used to Italy,
uncommon usage and only recorded example to a civilian internee in Germany (1942),
censored items, scarce 'six pence' double and inverted overprint on 6th and 7th issue Aug.
'44 (one of only two known) as well as scarce 9th issue (on sale for a very short period,
just six weeks) with one of only five used copies recorded. A magnificent exhibit, viewing
highly recommended.
During World War II over 9'000 New Zealand solders were captured by German or Italian
Troops. For the Government it was a high priority "... to have reliable, direct and effective
air mail communication with the country's Prisoners of War". Special light-weight air-letter
forms, today known as aerogrammes, were the solution. These new POW air letter cards
quickly proved popular and the postage rate of 1/6d. on the first issue was reduced to 6d.
by the 6th issue (August 1944). Today examples of any kind of these cards, whether mint
or used are very scarce. Paper was a prime commodity in the camps and was recycled,
either used as cigarette or toilet paper. Added to this was the fact that many prisoners were
marched across Poland and Germany in front of the advancing Russian Army, carrying only
a minimum of personal belongings, thus very few of these letter cards made it back home
and survived.

To have a better chance of being successful as a postal bidder we recommend setting a limit for the total amount of your
purchases (excl. 20% buyers premium): for example, bidding on a range of lots with a total amount of CHF 10’000 and setting
a limit of CHF 7’500 for your purchases means that the total for lots knocked down to you will not exceed the limit you have set.
We know from experience that postal bidders are rarely successful on all lots. On the other hand, you might have been interested
in other lots as well, but not knowing which lots would be knocked down to you and being worried to spend more than a certain
amount, you did not bid on them. Giving a total purchase limit (see also the Bid Form in this catalogue) enables you to have
a better chance of being a more successful postal bidder!

death ... we grappled with three Genoese galleys and came so close to one of them that her
shots passed over our poop deck ... after I had written the above we stormed a place called
Selessia, we then went on to Segna which we took by storm and sacked, we found iron, brass
