Lovely work there tikithindi,
You have some bent selvedge on the 3 pies purple
be careful it doesn't adhere to the back of the stamp.

Very nice indeed, tikihindi. I've never really looked at those that closely, but they really are a lovely set.

Would the last four qualify for barhata's thread about 'airmails that are not airmails'?

Hi,

Thank you all for appreciation.
This Issue all have Multi Star watermark smaller size have
Sideways. Larger size stamp have regular (verticle) Wmk.

@ rod thanks for pointing. I was long thinking in many of my
stamps selvedges are there but just selvedge. no Plate no or so.
Only when It comes to grouping set sometime I think of removing
them, do not mind single with selvedge intact housing in little larger pocket strips of vario. What is your opinion regarding
removeing selvedge in this situation.

@Jamew yes it will qualify for berth's thread now

Selvedge looks ugly, but you have to get over it,
I have been a supporter of "keep the selvedge"
mainly for protection, perhaps with mounts
that argument has less validity.

Certainly if the selvedge has markings retain,
but "folding under" is a no no.

In the end they are yours, and you do what you want. :)

Thanks rod appreciate very very much.

Learning every step of the way
