Rod, the airmail stamps from your first post are described as imperforate, but it looks like some kind of very low-frequency rouletting. One or two little nubs appear to protrude from each side. What gives? |

What gives? Keen eyesight. Alas! I cannot offer any explanation. For Interest: On the Gabon Postage Due, is inscribed "Mandarin" The Scott describer, has decided (Perhaps by its colour) that it is the sub-species "Tangerine" |

rod did note "from souvenir sheet". A blade nick in a pair of scissors or chopper would produce the nub. CSI SCF!! |

Geoff- agree with Funcity, absolutely gorgeous Gabon collection with the 1910 set complete. Nice copies of the 10F and 20F are extremely difficult. |

Thank you both. Most of this actually owes very little to me, and most to the (French) collector who originally assembled most of the material I have from Gabon. I transferred the colonial issues to my MOC leaves, but left his post-independence work intact, as I couldn't really have improved on it. |

Thanks, Rod. As I'm in sorting and disposing - certainly not acquiring - mode these days, I thought I'd add a few pages to your voluminous threads! |
