Great Britain and British Commonwealth are also well represented. In addition, there are numerous rarities from South America, Asia, including China and Japan, Eastern Europe with Poland (highlighted by two examples of 10kr Krakow) and Russia, including the scarce unused 1932 souvenir sheet bearing a three line inscription (one of only 25 printed). As always there are over 130 large lots and collections, balances of estates and much more.
