1. Since February 2013, we have operated on a quarterly auction cycle. From the
very pleasing results we’ve been achieving, it’s clear that this scheduling works well
for most of our clients. The success of our four sales in one day back in May has
encouraged us to repeat the multi-catalogue approach for August. In addition to this
auction, at 3.30pm we are conducting a sale dedicated to stamps and postal history of
Great Britain and the British Empire, featuring the extensive collection of my longtime
client and friend, the recently departed Jim Mathieson from Rosebud. Finally, at 6pm
we will hold a mini-auction of the fine collection of Nauru formed by our old friend
John Darnell from England, who sold his Solomons through us way back in
December 2003. Copies of both catalogues are available on request, free of charge,
to current clients.
2. As usual, this sale opens with an array of interesting collection lots. This is
followed by a strong Postcards section, featuring some terrific material consigned by
Yasuo Seki from Japan, a foretaste of his postal history of New Guinea and Papua to
be found later in the sale.
From Australia, the Kangaroos section includes many attractive items, with a number
th
of superb stamps ([6WXDUW+DUG\. 17 July 2014 marks one hundred years since the
first of the Georgian Heads was issued. To celebrate this important centenary,
auction #193 includes a wonderful array of KGV material, from single value studies
through to rare singles. We are also delighted to be offering a selection of complete
panes and sheets of Penny Reds from an overseas client, and a range of other very
fine large blocks from an interstate vendor. Both the postal history and postal
stationery sections include many desirable items.
Our extensive Australian Colonies section is, as usual, full of top quality stamps and
covers. Sydney collector, the late Michael Haden, was a true connoisseur: many of
his superb Classic stamps are included here. Victoria is particularly strong, with
/DXUHDWHV studies from Nick Holness and a terrific section of Large Stamp Duty
issues, topped off by a genuine unused set of the extraordinary Ultra High Values Lot 580 - with separate newly issued 536RI9certificates.
Because of our separate British Empire sale, BCW offerings in this catalogue are
limited to the Australian Territories. However, these are not to be missed, especially
the New Guinea and Papua postal history that was put together mostly in the 1980s.
We are also offering the balance of Sybrand Bakker’s outstanding BCOF collection.
Our foreign sections are stronger than usual, notably with a featured collection of
Germany offered in collection lots by period. We are also offering something
completely new for us: the late Dr Kevin Murphy’s very fine collection of Saudi
Arabia. Kevin did an excellent job of assembling a top quality study of the truly
challenging early issues of Hejaz and Nejd etc. If you’re looking for a new fertile field
of opportunity, this could well be it.

Understanding our Symbols & Unique Grading System
At Prestige Philately we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of.
We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with
the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is
important that you understand our Grading System because the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that
once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the
event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to return it. We stand behind the Prestige
Grading System.
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. (The actual location of the
illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.)
2.
The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:
**
Ω
C
CL
A
E
P
S
Mint, unmounted o.g.
Unused, no gum
Cover or card

*
Δ

L
R
Mint, mounted o.g.

Postal Stationery

or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:
V
F
H
Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear
Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design
Heavy or poorly struck postmark
O
G
Used, quality unspecified
Untidy or indistinct postmark
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to
covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections.
A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which
one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder
on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may
have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or
handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be
mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item is of the standard that you personally require.
Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved
to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the
lot.
4.
The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps
are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the
design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design.
[NB:These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century
American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should
be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough
perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’
grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’.
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm.
However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of
the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’
(complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise
a bit short of the mark.
5.
The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, followed
by a small "T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest
bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered.

AUCTIONEER: Prestige Philately Pty Ltd (Prestige), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to
the standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.
DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the
description (for details of our symbols and grading codes, see the previous page of this catalogue); 2) the description; and 3) any
illustration of the lot or part of the lot whether in the printed catalogue or in our on-line catalogue.
ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is our estimated value of the lot in Australian dollars. A
bidder may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) are unlikely to be accepted. If
the term “Offer” appears in place of an estimate figure, there is no reserve.
BIDDING: Bids may be made to Prestige by mail, by fax, by e-mail, by phone, or from our website. Bids received by phone must be
confirmed in writing. At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending
an auction. An agent must advise Prestige of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable
for payment and delivery of any lots purchased. Prestige reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any
reason.
In most cases, Prestige's bidding steps are as follows:
$150 - 300
$10 rises
$3000 - 5000
$200 rises
$300 - 500
$20 rises
$5000 - 10000
$250 rises
$500 - 750
$25 rises
$10000 - 15000
$500 rises
Under $ 50
$2 rises
$750 - 1500
$50 rises
$15000 - 30000
$1000 rises
$50 - 150
$5 rises
$1500 - 3000
$100 rises
over $30000
average of 5% rises
Prestige reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps.
TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this
service must contact Prestige at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special
conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and downloaded.]
GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be
payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by the estimate figure:
being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Prestige is
also payable by Australian buyers.
BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by Prestige. In the event of equal bids being
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a bidding dispute, Prestige shall have absolute discretion in the
settling of the dispute. A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the
buyer until Prestige has received payment in full for the lot.
PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. In addition to the price for which a lot is
sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or credit card use that are
charged by Prestige, plus GST as appropriate. No buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of on-line literature auctions.
(Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the equivalent of $A50
or 5% of the invoice total, whichever is greater, towards bank fees. Any resulting credit will be placed to the buyer's account.)
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Prestige shall have
the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
1) To impose an accounting fee of $50 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 2.5% per
month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to
Prestige;
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time - and impose a penalty commission rate of 30% - in
which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses,
shall be met by the original buyer;
4) To apply any monies due at any time from Prestige to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount;
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the
definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot
that is illustrated in the printed catalogue or the on-line catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the
buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason that is apparent from the illustration.
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing more than
10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots expressed to be
offered "as is" cannot be returned.
"EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity
must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Prestige shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In
particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have
perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with
an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be
not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer.
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot
description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any finding that does not materially affect the grading
of the lot.
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Prestige, and Prestige will be
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should Prestige agree to the buyer's nomination of an expert or
expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate
has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and may thereafter refuse to accept the
return of the lot.
GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria.
Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

c.1890 dilapidated Gibbons "Imperial" album for the whole world with numerous useful items throughout. The
strongest section is definitely Great Britain, which includes many very fine mint & used stamps plus a Parcel Post
label with 'GOVT/PARCELS' 1½d 6d & 9d. Europe & Coloies are well represented & there are many locals that we're
not familiar with. The Indian Feudatory States need to be closely inspected & there is a page of NSW mint multiples.
Well above-average for collections of this type with all the indications being that this is a genuine 1890s collection
with very little later material squeezed in. Many stamps are well adhered to the pages but there are also many with
paper-hinges that can be easily removed with a bit of care. Don't miss the extensive scans on our website. {Page

The Australian Commonwealth Specialists’ Catalogue: “King George V”
Although the Stanley Gibbons British Empire Catalogue is a fine general reference work, it
falls far short of the requirements for a full and detailed cataloguing of Australian stamps.
For this reason, we use the ACSC numbering almost exclusively in our auction catalogues.
Edited by renowned philatelist Dr Geoff Kellow RDP, the ACSC is widely regarded as the
finest single-country catalogue ever published. The current “King George V” edition was
released in 2007. A new edition is expected during 2014.

1819 entire headed "Parramatta NSWales/12th June 1819" & signed "Geo Tho Palmer" to "Dingle/Ireland" variously
rated "2/2", then "3/8" & finally "5/6", light but fine 'SHIP LETTER/[crown]/26OC26/1819/LONDON' transit cds,
professionally cleaned & with some archival tape backing.
A very early "country" letter, believed to be the earliest recorded letter to the British Isles from outside Sydney. The
remarkably quick passage of only 18 weeks is explained by the writer: "This letter goes by a whaler direct to England,
which is to sail tomorrow: her name is the Foxhound" and in a postscript "I beg to apologize for the slovenliness of
this hasty scrawl. I reside 15 miles from Sydney, and an opportunity offers for sending it, which I am likely to lose but
for the haste".

George Thomas Palmer arrived at Sydney in 1806 as a lieutenant with the 61st Regiment but with permission to

Ginninderra. {Page 67.1}

agricultural prospects & recommended establishing three experimental farms, one at Batchelor. Less than three

The Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed on 1/1/1901. One of the first priorities of the new Federal
Government was to conduct the first nationwide census. On 31st March, an army of local collectors assessed that
there were 3,773,801 people in the entire continent, excluding the indigenous population. Section 127 of the Federal
Constitution stated "In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth...aboriginal natives shall not be
counted." However, at least in NSW, Aborigines were recorded (if not "counted"). In this early CofA period, the States
retained responsibility for aboriginal affairs. {Page 81.1}

Ile de Gorée is a small island in Dakar Harbour. It is one of the oldest Europeans settlements in Africa, the
Portuguese having arrived in 1444. France gained control of the area in 1677. Gorée was a notorious slaving station,
although its notoriety far exceeded its importance to the slave trade. Rufisque & Dakar, both on the mainland, were
established in 1840 & 1857 respectively and quickly outstripped Gorée as mercantile centres. {Page 85.1}

Flinders Island opened 30/7/1889 as a Receiving House; upgraded to PO 1/1/1890. Randall Askeland advises ERD
for a CDS is OC15/00; this item is 8 years earlier, the evidence being that three years after opening there was still no
CDS at the office.. Renamed Settlement Point 1908, & again to Emita 10/7/1913. Randall Askeland confirms that
Harold Walker was resident at Settlement Point at this time, and later built the first store at Whitemark, also on
Flinders Island. From 1/10/1891, James Willett was the Flinders Island postmaster but Walker could well have been
covering for him during an absence. {Page 85.2}

is just as rare, and in far superior condition. The same is true of numerous stamps of the Australian Colonies. The

crimson with the Watermark Upright SG 285c (minor perf stains caused by the regumming), excellent centring,
unused (regummed), unpriced mint & unknown postally used. A very attractive set of great rarity. Separate Apex
Certificates (1980, each wrongly states "o.g.") and separate RPSofV Certificates (2014).
Pen-cancelled ultra high value stamps are notorious for being offered as "unused" with the cancellations chemically
removed. American certificates are notoriously unreliable for Australian stamps. We therefore expressed our
scepticism when we submitted the stamps for new certificates, and requested that a rigorous examination be made.
This is the only unused set of the recess-printed stamps known to us. Geoff Kellow at page 247 states "Unused
copies [of all recess and litho printings] are extremely rare." Of the recess stamps he records one £25 in the Royal
Collection, and two £100, one with margins, the other in the Royal Collection. This, therefore, may well be the only
complete unused set in existence, and the £50 may be the only recorded example.

arrival cds, 'MISSENT' h/s & redirected to Cairns where 2d Postage Due affixed & cancelled with blue "X", a little
soiled. A bit of an enigma. [The card is addressed to Samarai so our vendor ascribed the Missent h/s to Thursday
Island. However, we are of the view that it was an irregular redirection usage at Samarai as both the handstamp &
the cds are inverted. Roger Lee recorded different Missent handstamps at Samarai in 1906 & in the 1930s. This type
