Saudi Arabia 

The Willie King collection of Saudi Arabia, a country whose adhesive stamps from 1916 and even postal 

history has been universally beset by doubts of forgery, whether it be of overprint or cancellation. It is 

therefore a pleasure to offer these rare stamps, many of which had print runs in the low hundreds rather 

than in thousands, and be able to bid in the knowledge that all the offered items are genuine in all respects, 

as nearly every stamp in this collection has a competent expert certificate or signature and most are plated 

to individual sheet positions. This first part features the early Hejaz issues, with splendid multiples and 

nearly all the listed varieties offered for the first time in many years. I must thank the owner, as it has been a 

privilege to learn more about the Hejaz issues whilst lotting and describing this collection.

1921 (Dec): Unframed Overprints, typographed in Mecca: 2 pi. claret, rouletted 13, 

overprint in gold, a fine mint example from position 21 on the sole sheet of 50 printed (of 

which 20 have never been found), tropicalised as normal but with fine appearance and full 

original gum underneath tissue paper. A great rarity, unlisted by Gibbons and mentioned in 

a footnote by Scott. Cert. Arabian PAI (2003). 

Note: Ex the 'Al Mojaddedi' find. This find emanated from the family archives who had been 

repaid in postage stamps when King Ali's troops looted his sugar imports during the Siege 

of Jeddah in 1925. All of the gold overprinted stamps known come from one sheet which 

was probably a Proof sheet for approval by King Hussain or the Hejaz Post Office. All of 

the stamps found were somewhat toned having been stored for 80 years in Jeddah without 

air-conditioning. 20 stamps have never surfaced, the balance were sold by the family in the 

years since 1997. 28 var ** 2'000 (€ 1'660)

Zeppelin: Weihnachtsfahrt 

(12. Südamerikafahrt) vom 8. bis 19. Dezember 1934 

Nachfolgend offerieren wir eine umfassende Zusammenstellung mit Belegen zur Weihnachtsfahrt. 

Der Sammler hat über Jahrzehnte versucht, alle Belege der Vertragsstaaten zusammenzutragen, was ihm 

bis auf wenige Ausnahmen auch gelungen ist. Dass einige Briefe oder Karten auch in dieser grossen Zeitspanne 

nicht am Markt erhältlich waren (Jemen, Litauen etc.) spricht für die ausgesprochene Seltenheit der 

einzelnen Zulieferungen zur Abschlussfahrt für das Jahr 1934. Für den engagierten Sammler bietet sich 

hiermit die Gelegenheit, einzelne Lücken in seiner Sammlung zu schliessen.

of Danish P.O. in Hamburg in black. Reverse with Aachen transit in red and Danish P.O.

skilling due from recipient in red crayon as these combination covers (where the Danish 

postage had been applied in Great Britain) were no longer authorised due to the London- 

Altona Packet Service being withdrawn. An outstanding and most attractive entire with 

just three recorded similar frankings. Certificates Jakubek (1985), Nielsen (2003) and RPS 

(2004). 

Note: The Direct Packet to Altona / Hamburg was withdrawn on November 30, 1853. Mixed 

Frankings were still permitted because they did not transit any other countries and the 

bilateral agreement between Great Britain and Denmark was still in effect.

138 Collection Imperial Airways 1924 - 1940: SINGLE LOTS 


The Barry J. E. Scott FRPSL International Gold Medal Collection 

IMPERIAL AIRWAYS LIMITED 1924 - 1940 

The collection built up over a period of twenty five years shows the development of the air mail system by Imperial 

Airways from the forerunners up to 1940. 

Imperial Airways was formed after advice by the British Government selected committee formally known as the 

“Hambling Committee” who reported to the House on 15 February 1923. This report stated that the existing private 

Airline companies should be merged into one company that could develop an external air service for Britain and 

the Empire. An agreement was reached between the President of the Air Council and the Foreign and Colonial 

Corporation on 3 December 1923 and the first daily flight between London (Croydon) and Paris (Le Bourget) 

was commenced 26 April 1924. The expansion of the European air routes were started progressively and Imperial 

Airways as the “Chosen Instrument” by the British Government’s air mail plan to extend the air services to India, 

South Africa and later to the Empire countries in Australasia, formally took over the route between Cairo and 

Baghdad from the RAF on 1 January 1927, adding immediately Basra to the route. 

The collectors primary interest in the air mails was not so much the advent of first flight covers, but rather the 

commercially flown mail, showing the different routes and rates, legs and feeder services from Europe to Australia 

as well as the IA Service from Egypt to South Africa and vice versa. This includes scarce destinations, routings 

and route expansions. 

The finest Imperial Airways collection put together to date in the considered knowledge of several senior FIP 

Aerophilatelic Judges.

International Gold Medal collection New Zealand Prisoner of War Air Letter Cards 1941-1945 

ex 908 

The International Gold awarded one frame Exhibit of NEW ZEALAND PRISONER OF 

WAR AIR LETTER CARDS 1941 - 1945 formed by Barry Scott FRPSL showing all the 

recorded types of mint and/or used Air Letter Cards produced by the Government Printers 

in Wellington, initially issued on Monday Nov. 17th 1941, showing all nine issues with 

the recorded errors, varieties and wrappers known. The sixteen page exhibit starts each 

issue with a mint example, 7th issue with a complete set of five mint cards plus wrapper, 

continuing with earliest recorded usages including 1/6 d. stationery card used on Nov. 18th 

(2nd day of issue) to Germany, first issue card with un-watermarked variety used to Italy, 

uncommon usage and only recorded example to a civilian internee in Germany (1942), 

censored items, scarce 'six pence' double and inverted overprint on 6th and 7th issue Aug. 

'44 (one of only two known) as well as scarce 9th issue (on sale for a very short period, 

just six weeks) with one of only five used copies recorded. A magnificent exhibit, viewing 

highly recommended. 

During World War II over 9'000 New Zealand solders were captured by German or Italian 

Troops. For the Government it was a high priority "... to have reliable, direct and effective 

air mail communication with the country's Prisoners of War". Special light-weight air-letter 

forms, today known as aerogrammes, were the solution. These new POW air letter cards 

quickly proved popular and the postage rate of 1/6d. on the first issue was reduced to 6d. 

by the 6th issue (August 1944). Today examples of any kind of these cards, whether mint 

or used are very scarce. Paper was a prime commodity in the camps and was recycled, 

either used as cigarette or toilet paper. Added to this was the fact that many prisoners were 

marched across Poland and Germany in front of the advancing Russian Army, carrying only 

a minimum of personal belongings, thus very few of these letter cards made it back home 

and survived.

To have a better chance of being successful as a postal bidder we recommend setting a limit for the total amount of your 

purchases (excl. 20% buyers premium): for example, bidding on a range of lots with a total amount of CHF 10’000 and setting 

a limit of CHF 7’500 for your purchases means that the total for lots knocked down to you will not exceed the limit you have set. 

We know from experience that postal bidders are rarely successful on all lots. On the other hand, you might have been interested 

in other lots as well, but not knowing which lots would be knocked down to you and being worried to spend more than a certain 

amount, you did not bid on them. Giving a total purchase limit (see also the Bid Form in this catalogue) enables you to have 

a better chance of being a more successful postal bidder!

1380 (Aug 15): Entire letter from Filippo Dacca di Pesaro, serving on a ship (galley) of 

War marauding in the Adriatic Sea, written from Rhodes (Rodi) and sent to his uncle in 

Venice probably by way of Parenzo in Istria, with bold family Guild sign on address panel. 

Fascinating letter in Italian with full translation in English accompanying the lot - "We 

landed about Aug 1 at Capo D'Istria. There were 400 of the Patriach's men in the town 

but we captured the place without loss ... a number of traitors were given up and put to 

death ... we grappled with three Genoese galleys and came so close to one of them that her 

shots passed over our poop deck ... after I had written the above we stormed a place called 

Selessia, we then went on to Segna which we took by storm and sacked, we found iron, brass 

and timber there ...". A fascinating letter describing the constant War between the Venetians
