Stamp Magazine - October 2023
In dieser Angelegenheit
In the October issue of Stamp Magazine, we try to make sense of the stamps and postal history of the German States before unification in 1871. Why is the catalogue so confusing, and who issued what, and where, and when?
We also use the 1931 surcharges of Papua as a case study of locally-applied provisional overprints, when certain values are needed to meet short-term postal needs, and collectable varieties are sure to arise.
Our series on Great Britain’s special issues in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II focuses on the 1964 International Geographical Congress set, which was much more interesting than it sounded.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Classics examines the 1931 definitive series of St Lucia, and Strange But True reveals why a famous opera was lauded by a commemorative stamp 100 years after it wasn’t performed.
Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s special issues celebrating Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and Paddington Bear, along with new King Charles III make-up values, and a preview of this year’s Stampex.
Don’t miss it!
