    1917 (Sept 1): The 'Tourist' pass - the set of those stamps presumably still available on 10 Sept 1917, all applied on what is now two pieces of paper, with folds away from the adhesives; the first page with eighteen stamps and the second with seven; with Stanley Gibbons numbers as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10a, 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20a, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25; all individually tied by BAGDAD cds's (10.SEP.17) in black. Minor aging, the pages cleaned and reinforced with tape, a colour photocopy of the item prior to this enclosed with the lot. Extremely rare, the Khalatschy handbook states that just four of these items were made. A sensational item. Cert. BPA (2001) Gi = £ 60'000+.
