Just Want To Share A Nice Stamp

Ron, don't worry, I will check my SG as soon I arrive at home and with all the purchase I did, I will go deep in that series, I even purchase a full sheet to see the variation on it. This is why I prefer collect series instead of countries, what is the purpose to put stamps in an album if you don't get knowledge about them ......if you collect a full country, you always stuck with a lot of stamps you don't. Saying that, I will not trash my Scott Int. lol

Rod , I don't get it, I do have the Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840-1952 - 2004 Edition and they do list only the Red and Black for 1938. In the bottom of the pic they show the a and b , but it's for the perf. No mention of the 1940 edition like in Michel .

EDIT : well seem it's a version not very complete.

Enough is enough, I just ordered the 4th edition ( 2016 and better be more complete than the one I have ) of SG and also the "Bermuda Specialised Stamp Catalogue Stamps and Postal History 1812-1970"

here the comment about the specialized book , it's make me worry that SG is not really colplete...lol ;

"This is an absolute must if you are a serious Bermuda collector – the only drawback is you'll find out how limited your current collection is!"

Stanley Gibbons is a wicked Mistress, that's why I divorced her, and went to Scott.
I make brief visits for her counsel on specialised items, but otherwise avoid her pernickety ways. (Typical British eccentricity)

Scott is not perfect, but I enjoy stamp collecting using her.

Please post your results, when the catalogues arrive. (esp if you have perforation varieties)


Stanley Gibbons, British Commonwealth Catalogue 1974

So in my SB the 110 was issue in 1938 in 1 color black and red with the price of a rose red and 2 perforations (1938 - 1950 )

In your SB the 110 is 1938 in rose-red and black Line Perf 11.9 (1938)
..................110a is also 1938 and dull red and Black Both Line Perf 11.9 ( 1938) or... Comb Perf 11.9 x 11.75 (1950)

In my Michel 101a rose-red and black is 1938
............101b dullred and black is 1940

So futher enquieries is requiered. Can email the Berbuda collectors, group, but it's too wasy, I want to get the book I ordered first

Look at this seller, make is image look rose-red, describe the stamp at rose-red varity 110,

so the one in middle and right are the same stamp just 2 different scan . this guy is a real shame for ebay.
