The Stamps Of France : By Page.

Outcome of recent Spink virtual auction of French material, which may be of interest -

Beautiful album pages, Rod222 and words of wisdom from so many others.

French stamps are so classy - and production quality and topics are always excellent.

Threads like this have re-ignited my interest in my schoolboy French collection.

Marianne defs are especially interesting, a good catalogue is essential - found a (Spink)Maury 2016 on a well-known online vending site, invaluable.

Now I am trying to fill the gaps!

I'll attempt to change all my Photobucket images
Can anyone direct me to the post on how to do that please?

Query:
The 25c Cameo Sower. Type lllC
There is sometimes a nick in the "R" of Francaise

What is meant by the phrase " The perforations are guillotined" ? please.

Use : Rotary Coils of 600 and 1200, printed 1922 and 1924
Withdrawn June 1927

Note: All early pages destroyed by Photobucket, now returned to "Blushing Colour"..........Cheers.

Rid - From memory, "guillotined" refers to a scissors-looking cut, rather than the "natural" perf look you'd find on non-coil stamps.

Thank you Geoff, was what I had imagined, yet I do not recall seeing any in the 1000's I have as duplicates.

Sending you an e-mail shortly.

Many thanks Geoff, for your time on my behalf.
I am using also, "Gibbons Stamp Monthly" September 2007 (Author : Ashley Lawrence)
(I always wondered why I kept the squillions of "La Semeuse" , I just remain fascinated by the design)

Forging onwards..........
