Came across a little envelope in a bulk lot I bought lot from an auction house many years ago and put them in the "too hard basket", hopefully someone may know something about any of the three various stamps I have posted on this forum.

Hello Sydneyboy, and welcome to SCF!
This looks to be the 1922 airmail 50 on 100h inverted surcharge, SG224a in my Stanley Gibbons Czechoslovakia. Catalogue value £170 mint, not quoted in used condition. The postmark does look a little suspect though!
Hope this helps.

Thanks DavidR, Thanks for your reply, I don't have an interest in these issues, nor could I comment on the postmark, we will see what happens.
Regards
