I don't collect Australia, but these stamps look awefully suspicious. Are they forgeries? Also, why is there different script on the two stamps with the word "specimen"? I'm hoping you were waiting for a response before the big reveal!

My favorites are my 1869 pictorials. I'm still working towards a sound (fault-free) copy of 122, but am still pleased with the two I have. The following picture is quite literally a "show piece" as it was part of a presentation I made for my club recently.

i will use covers as they are easier to pull than stamps...this is just an example of the hundreds of Guatemala covers and postcards of the 1930s and 1940's that I picked up before the dealers woke up !!

Long story: We aren't allowed at the Howard Johnson, anymore. Fallout over who fired the first shot between Greedo and Han. We're still looking for another venue!
