Hi there, I'm new to this site and have a reasonable collection that I will slowly post on here. Today I'm sharing part of my Swiss Collection and want to ask your help to see whether I got any value there.
Some of these are not Swiss. The first seven are Austrian. The others are mostly the "Sitting- and Standing Helvatia" types, some of the most difficult to identify Swiss stamps. There are so many different perforations, and also whether there is a watermark. Then there are numerous plate varieties. You would really need a specialized catalog for these.
I think the first Image is Hungarian, then comes Austrian, then Swiss. Thanks for the Input, I will definitively look into it. All of the Sitting Helvetias have the oval with a cross in it watermark...
The first are the Hungarian 5 kr Franz Josef, engraved, one on piece on postal stationary. Next is an Austrian revenue followed by three newspaper stamps. Then the Swiss stamps, which you'll need a catalog to identify, and are not from Austro Hunagarian Empire, by the way. Last three are Swiss back of book.
