    1871/1979: Valuable stock containing both classic and later issues, comprising classic issues from the 1871 imperforates, 1872 dragons and 1874 bird issues. The later issues include an unused 1916 10s blue and ultramarine ceremonial cap (no gum) and the 1949 8y 'Moon and Geese' apparently never hinged (2). There are furthermore 'Mihon' Specimen, occupation issues and a great many back of the book items as well as a small section of postal history.  The condition is very mixed, the classic items are often heavily cancelled. This lot will reward patient sorting.
