Hungary Stamps : On Steiner Pages.

Yes, spent hours on those rascals.

Thank you very much for posting the list of "3 Pin Punctures" as I always wondered what stamp issues had them. Very nice!

Coincidentally, I just received this used block in the mail this week, shown scanned below.

Hungary - Scott #383 - 2000 Korona - Madonna and Child from the 1921-25 set, used block of 4 with top 2 stamps normal and bottom 2 stamps punctured with the 3-pin pattern. Now in my WW block collection.

Thanks Linus,
not had seen the 3 pin punctures in a block beforehand.

World Wide Block collection !
I see hundreds of albums there.

Pure joy, I will never run out WW blocks to collect. I am reminded of the Robert Earl Keen song lyric:

The road goes on forever and the party never ends

I'm rearranging my Hungary collection, getting them more spaced in the stock books (3 ring binders are rather expensive to import here).
Now I'm about to enter WWII and I dread the moment I'll have to deal with 1945-6 - 500 stamps just for these two years (2200 for 1945-55).
How many Steiner pages you've used for 1945-6, Rod?

Rob,
13 Pages
Steiner Pages 5 to 15 inclusive, and pages 31 and 32

+ personal pages ephemera and postmarks and odd stuff.

1946 Steiner Page 11.

First Baranya Issue
Issued under Serbian Occupation.
Just a few
Charles lV issue Overprint , looks genuine, the rest assume forged Overprints.

I think Hungary is an excellent country to start with if you are moving onto World collecting. They are lovely stamps, very cheap, good packets on the market and some excellent catalogues. But beware I started off using the SG World Catalogue (2017) and found a lot of errors, not as bad as Cuba, but still a lot.

Römerbad in Steiermark ? (now Rimske Toplice,Slovenia)

(not mine)

Thank you Vayolene.
European geography still mystifies me.
Initial Google showed it still in Austria,
but I guess there may be other Romerbads (Roman Springs)

Never rely on what is marked on back of stamp.

The three pin holes on Hungary stamp are known as --Haramaslyukkal.

Floortrader, what you wrote appears in google search and it's in "pigeon Hungarian". Here's what HungaryForStamps (a member here) wrote in this forum 8 years ago:
