1. Welcome to the catalogue for our first General <strong>Auction</strong> since February. If<br />
you have been inconvenienced by us interposing the fabulously successful<br />
sale of Tim Rybak’s New Guinea and Papua into our programme, followed by<br />
our Sixth International Rarities <strong>Auction</strong>, I hope you will agree the “long time<br />
between drinks” has been worth the wait.<br />
2. At the outset, we have a very important notice. This auction is being<br />
conducted on the afternoon of FRIDAY 11 th July, from 3pm. So, we have<br />
two unusual things about which you need to be aware. Firstly, this is a Friday<br />
auction, not Saturday as usual. And we will be starting proceedings two<br />
hours later than normal: at 3pm instead of our standard 1pm start.<br />
Please make a note of these details in your diary now. I would hate you to<br />
miss the sale because you overlooked that it’s on the Friday, at 3 o’clock.<br />
3. As part of our on-going commitment to excellence in auctions, we have<br />
made a few cosmetic, but important, changes to the physical appearance of<br />
this catalogue. While the colour-scheme for the cover introduced with the<br />
Rybak sale is retained, we have re-designed our corporate logo. The word<br />
“<strong>Prestige</strong>” is retained in gold but is now in what we might call a neo-classic<br />
script font. It is superimposed on a burgundy field representing a wax seal.<br />
The whole is then set against a jet-black background that we believe gives an<br />
enhanced up-market feel to the catalogue.<br />
We trialled a number of formats on a focus-group of clients and non-collectors<br />
and the new style was met with almost unanimous approval. Our thanks to all<br />
who participated in the project.<br />
The script “<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong>” will also be seen at the top of each page of the<br />
catalogue. In addition, a more “antique” version of the wax-seal motif can be<br />
found at the upper-right of every right-hand page.<br />
Finally, we have adopted an uncluttered italic font for our headings and subheadings.<br />
All such headings will now be printed in burgundy. When viewed<br />
together, these design elements project the image of a tradition-based<br />
company with a very modern and progressive approach to doing business.<br />
4. We know that not everybody will approve of this tweaking of our “brand”.<br />
However, we hope that even those who prefer the “old” <strong>Prestige</strong> livery will<br />
recognise that we remain committed to offering the widest possible range<br />
of the best available material. As we say on the front cover, “<strong>Philately</strong> at its<br />
best”.<br />
5. Partly because of the five months gap between general sales, this auction<br />
is larger than usual. In fact, at 156 pages, this is our biggest catalogue to<br />
date. To save weight and therefore both printing and postage costs, we could<br />
have cut back on the number of photoplates; we could have severely limited<br />
the “Gallery Sections” with the illustrations interspersed with the text; we could<br />
have abbreviated many descriptions. However, if we had done any of these<br />
things we would have been saying that saving money was more important<br />
than providing the highest possible level of service to our vendors.<br />
In fact, not only have we not cut back in these areas, this catalogue has<br />
more in-text illustrations than any of our previous general sale<br />
catalogues.<br />
6. In the preliminary sections of the catalogue we have unusual offerings of<br />
space covers (many autographed by the early astronauts), coins, and<br />
documents (mostly of British origin). While we remain focussed on philatelic<br />
subjects, we know that many of our clients have interests in other fields and<br />
we are happy to have the occasional opportunity to service these sectors of<br />
the collectables market.

7. Commonwealth of Australia includes attractive offerings from all eras, especially Kangaroos. An<br />
extensive array of postal history includes a section devoted to covers with Kangaroo frankings. A<br />
further selection of hand-painted First Day Covers by Jack Peake, is augmented with others by EA<br />
Ogden and Arthur Bergen. Military mail includes a group of Gallipoli mail, notably four covers from<br />
an Australian Prisoner of War in Turkey: these have never before been on the market.<br />
Pre-Federation Australia includes excellent material from all six Colonies/ States. A highlight is the<br />
set of apparently imperforate South Australian “Classics” - Lot 431. Nick was able to skilfully<br />
remove these from the 1850s sketchbook in which they had been affixed. The colours are really<br />
vibrant.<br />
8. Western Australia is the standout section of the sale. With some 230 lots ranging from<br />
Classic stamps to revenues, and from pre-stamp mail to rare postmarks, this is the finest offering<br />
we have presented since our great success with Dr Cecil Walkley’s WA back in April 2005.<br />
As sometimes happens, we received several similar and complementary consignments for the one<br />
auction. Two of the WA collections came to us, quite independently, from <strong>No</strong>rth America. Another<br />
selection was received from England. Other material was supplied by Australian collectors,<br />
including two from Perth.<br />
I have often made the point that “provenance” (prior ownership) is becoming an increasingly<br />
important feature of serious philately. It is vital that significant offerings can be easily referenced for<br />
the future. It is vital that the provenance of rare stamps and covers is easily traced.<br />
To this end, and because of the several sources involved, we decided it was appropriate to present<br />
all the Western Australia in this sale under a single banner of The “Freemantle” Collection. (This<br />
unusual spelling with two ‘E’s was used in error in one of Fremantle’s early datestamps.)<br />
Membership of specialist societies is strongly encouraged. On page 76 you will find the details for<br />
joining the Western Australia Study Group. The cost is minimal and, to assist the WASG, we will<br />
be pleased to pass on membership applications accompanied by your credit card details. You can<br />
simply write “Add membership to WASG” on your bidsheet and we will look after it for you.<br />
9. From the Rest of the World we have a number of significant offerings: superb post-1949 China<br />
from a New Issues Service; fine Great Britain including better unmounted material; postal history of<br />
the Middle East; extensive New Guinea featuring high value GRIs; a fine collection of New Hebrides<br />
including a number of rarities; and the well-developed collection of <strong>No</strong>rfolk Island formed by my<br />
long-time client and friend Margaret Hamilton from Perth. We commend all these sections to you.<br />
10. Did you know that prices realised for our auctions are made available on our website straight<br />
after a sale? You are welcome to access and download free of charge the Prices Realised List for<br />
any of our sales. Or all of them, for that matter!<br />
11. Daniel Brown has initiated most of the recent enhancements to our catalogue and other<br />
aspects of our operations. In recognition of his commitment to <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong>, I am very pleased<br />
to announce that Daniel has now assumed the rôle of General Manager.<br />
12. From all of the Team at <strong>Prestige</strong>, we wish you success with your bids in this wide-ranging and<br />
interesting auction. And please remember: this sale is on FRIDAY 11 th July at 3PM.

Understanding our Symbols & Unique Grading System<br />
At Prestie <strong>Philately</strong> we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of. We are the only<br />
major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most<br />
have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is important that you understand our Grading System because<br />
the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the<br />
quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to<br />
return it. We stand behind the Prestie Grading System.<br />
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. (The actual location of the illustration is<br />
given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.)<br />
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:<br />
** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.<br />
Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece<br />
C Cover or card PS Postal Stationery<br />
CL Cover, long CX Cover, oversize<br />
A Albums and accessories B Booklet<br />
E Essay L Literature<br />
P Proof R Reprint<br />
S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)<br />
or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:<br />
V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear O Used, quality unspecified<br />
F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark<br />
H Heavy or poorly struck postmark<br />
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers,<br />
postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit<br />
obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.<br />
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would<br />
normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.<br />
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A<br />
cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner’s notations.<br />
Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not<br />
normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item<br />
is of the standard that you personally require.<br />
Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade<br />
indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the lot.<br />
4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.<br />
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps are very well centred;<br />
‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre,<br />
with the perforations well into the design.<br />
[NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues.<br />
However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such<br />
issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]<br />
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the<br />
grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation<br />
faults will be a ‘4’.<br />
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many<br />
issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]<br />
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the<br />
marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is<br />
used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark.<br />
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.<br />
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, follwed by a small<br />
"T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this<br />
level will not be considered.<br />
7. We use the following standardised abbreviations:<br />
o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) PPC picture postcard<br />
d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp<br />
mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date<br />

<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> – Public <strong>Auction</strong> Terms of Sale<br />
(amended as at 1 st July 2007: see in particular Paragraph 10 as to the unavailability of extensions to have perfins expertised)<br />
1. AUCTIONEER: <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> (Prestie), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to the<br />
standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.<br />
2. DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the<br />
description (for details of our symbols and grading codes, see the previous page of this catalogue); 2) the description; and 3) any<br />
illustration of the lot or part of the lot. (The various codes and symbols are explained on the previous page.<br />
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is the starting price of the lot in Australian dollars. A<br />
bidder - may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) will not be accepted. There is<br />
no reserve on lots listed at $20 or less.<br />
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to Prestie by mail, by fax, by e-mail or by phone. Bids received by phone must be confirmed in writing.<br />
At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending an auction. An agent<br />
must advise Prestie of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable for payment and<br />
delivery of any lots purchased. Prestie reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any reason.<br />
In most cases, Prestie's bidding steps are as follows:<br />
$150 - 300 $10 rises $3000 - 5000 $200 rises<br />
$300 - 500 $20 rises $5000 - 10000 $250 rises<br />
Under $30 $1 rises $500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises<br />
$30 - 50 $2 rises $750 - 1500 $50 rises $15000 - 30000 $1000 rises<br />
$50 - 150 $5 rises $1500 - 3000 $100 rises over $30000 average of 5% rises<br />
Prestie reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps.<br />
5. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this<br />
service must contact Prestie at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special<br />
conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and downloaded.]<br />
6. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be<br />
payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by the estimate figure:<br />
being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Prestie is<br />
also payable by Australian buyers.<br />
7. BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by Prestie. In the event of equal bids being<br />
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a dispute, Prestie shall have absolute discretion in the settling of the<br />
dispute.<br />
A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the buyer until Prestie has<br />
received payment in full for the lot.<br />
8. PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. For public auctions only, in addition to<br />
the price for which a lot is sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or<br />
credit card use that are charged by <strong>Prestige</strong>, plus GST as appropriate. <strong>No</strong> buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of postal<br />
auctions. (Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the<br />
equivalent of $A50 towards bank fees, any resulting credit being placed to the buyer's account.)<br />
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Prestie shall have<br />
the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:<br />
1) To impose an accounting fee of $10 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 2.5% per<br />
month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;<br />
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to<br />
Prestie;<br />
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time, in which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs<br />
including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses, shall be met by the original buyer;<br />
4) To apply any monies due at any time from Prestie to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount;<br />
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.<br />
9. RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the<br />
definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot<br />
that is illustrated in the catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the buyer's agent cannot be returned for<br />
any reason that is apparent from the illustration.<br />
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing more than<br />
10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots offered "as is"<br />
cannot be returned.<br />
10. "EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity<br />
must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Prestie shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In<br />
particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have<br />
perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in<br />
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with<br />
an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be<br />
not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer.<br />
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot<br />
description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any findingt that does not materially affect the<br />
grading of the lot.<br />
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Prestie, and Prestie will be<br />
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should Prestie agree to the buyer's nomination of an expert or<br />
expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate<br />
has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and Prestie may thereafter refuse to<br />
accept the return of the lot.<br />
11. GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria.<br />
12. Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

close with margins in places, unused with traces of o.g., Cat £13,800 if all are truly the imperforate<br />
issues. Very fresh and attractive.<br />
These stamps - and Lot 842 under Great Britain - were removed by us from an original 1850s<br />
sketchbook. The 6d (Cat £2250) exists only imperforate. The other values were also issued rouletted.<br />
However, the rouletted stamps almost invariably have the rouletting into the design on at least one<br />
side. The designs of all four stamps are complete, with no evidence of rouletting into the designs. We<br />
are therefore confident that they are all imperforate stamps. However, as it is unlikely that anyone<br />

margins close to large with fragments of the adjoining units at top & left, obvious lustrous sheen, light<br />
void-grid cancel. Superb! Ex Button (realised £67/10/- in 1946) and Lars Amundsen (Lot 628: where it<br />
was identified as "golden bronze" & described as "magnificent"!, with which statement we readilly<br />
concur. RPSofL Certificate (1943) as "golden bronze".<br />
Our Rarities <strong>Auction</strong> on 24/5/2008 included examples of the golden-bronze & black-bronze shades.<br />
Our visual comparison of those items with these three stamps, inclines us to the view that Lots 572<br />
and 573 are "golden-bronze", while Lot 574 is "black-bronze". Under illuminated magnification, there is<br />
more evidence of metallic particles on the first two stamps compared to the third. However, our scans<br />
suggest that Lot 574 is more "golden" than Lots 572 & 573. It's a bit of a conundrum.<br />
What we can say without hedging our bets is that these are three exceptional stamps. Given that Dr<br />
Walkley's premium-grade "golden-bronze" and "black-bronze" sold for $7762 and $5290 respectively<br />
at our auction of 14/4/2005, we are confident that our estimates of $4000 each will thus prove to be<br />
enticing regardless what conclusions one may draw regarding the precise shades.{Page 74.3}<br />

1849. Revett Henry Bland arrived in Perth in August 1829. He was appointed Resident at York by 1834<br />
& the local Protector of Aborigines in 1841. He left York in October 1848 & Meares was presumably his<br />
successor. He was Acting Colonial Secretary in 1849 until March 1850 & it is during this short period<br />
that he would have enjoyed the free franking privilege. Attempts on the Queen's life were made by<br />
William Hamilton in 1849 and by Robert Pate in 1850. Both were transported for 7 years]{Page 91.1}<br />
