1. Another New Year! How quickly we pass from one to the next. On behalf<br />
of all of us at <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong>, I would like to extend to you our warmest<br />
wishes for a 2012 full of wonderful opportunities, philatelic achievement, and<br />
good health.<br />
2. You will see some significant changes in our operations in the<br />
coming year. For starters, we expect to conduct most (perhaps all) of<br />
our sales on a Friday. General auctions will be scheduled each<br />
February, May, August and <strong>No</strong>vember. We will be revamping our website<br />
and updating those pages that have been neglected in recent times. More<br />
changes are in the planning stages: watch this space!<br />
3. Our programme for the first half of 2012 is already in place. In late March,<br />
we will be conducting an auction devoted to all things New Zealand: see<br />
page 7 to order your free copy of the catalogue now. Early May will see our<br />
next general auction, for which we are now accepting appropriate<br />
consignments, and in late June we will proudly present the very extensive<br />
collection of Victoria formed by Les Molnar of Canada.<br />
4. The current auction is another wide-ranging sale. For those wanting<br />
“bang for buck”, there are numerous well-developed collection lots both in<br />
the miscellaneous section, and under specific country headings. At the<br />
other end of the spectrum, there are significant rarities and a couple of new<br />
discoveries, some at quite modest estimates. We also have interesting<br />
selections of ephemera and postcards.<br />
The Australian postal history section is the strongest we have offered since<br />
our very successful sale of Kevin Nelson’s collection in <strong>No</strong>vember 2010.<br />
The highlight is the collection of Kangaroo frankings formed by Matt<br />
Hancock, with many attractive and unusual items including State/Roo<br />
combination covers. And Kiwi Barry Scott has consigned his highly<br />
decorated exhibit of the elusive and underrated ‘Military Envelopes’ from<br />
World War I.<br />
An extensive Australian Colonies/States section includes many very fine<br />
Classics, a nice selection of New South Wales revenues, handy ranges of<br />
Postal Stationery, and a small but select group of South Australian<br />
Departmentals. We are also offering a collection of Victorian Barred<br />
Numerals, and the earliest recorded postal marking of Western Australia: Ex<br />
Mogens Juhl.<br />
Turning to the Rest of the World, we have an unusually large number of<br />
European and other foreign collection lots that will reward close inspection.<br />
Other worthwhile sections are Southern & East Africa and Great Britain. We<br />
also have a selection of Malayan lots from the fabled “Midas” Collection, and<br />
New Republic varieties Ex Ferrary. The standout Pacific item is our front<br />
cover piece, the magnificent Small Canoes die proof in red.<br />
Finally, there is a range of literature including many highly regarded and<br />
elusive titles.<br />
5. It’s an exciting time to be involved in philately. The local and international<br />
auction markets remain vibrant. We are greatly encouraged by the number<br />
of new buyers entering the fray. Whether you are a collector, investor, or<br />
dealer, I hope you derive as much enjoyment as we do from this most<br />
stimulating of pastimes .<br />
Finally, I again wish you a prosperous 2012, and success with your bidding<br />
in this auction.

Introduction for New Bidders<br />
If you have not been a regular bidder with <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> you are probably not<br />
aware of the key ingredients that make up what we call "The <strong>Prestige</strong> Difference".<br />
Reading the following section will help you get the most from your relationship with<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong>.<br />
1. Grading System for Philatelic Material. This provides you with an instant<br />
assessment of the overall quality of an item, including such aspects as centring,<br />
perforations and cancellation. <strong>No</strong> more wondering if an item is good, bad or<br />
indifferent. If we say it is graded 'A' you can be confident that it has no faults. For<br />
details of our Grading System see page 5 headed "Understanding our Symbols & Unique<br />
Grading System".<br />
2. Cross Reference Index. We provide you with a comprehensive and extensive<br />
resource that enables you to quickly locate every lot in the sale that has some<br />
connection with your collecting interests, regardless of where it is actually listed in<br />
the catalogue. This is particularly valuable if you collect by subject or theme: see<br />
pages 8 to 10.<br />
3. Illustration Locations. Have you ever struggled to find the photo of a lot you<br />
are interested in? Apart from showcasing many items within the test, we also tell you<br />
the page on which each illustration appears, and even the position on that page.<br />
4. Our website is the innovative extension of our office-based activities. It<br />
provides you with an enormous amount of information, everything from Frequently<br />
Asked Questions (FAQs) about <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> to more than 20 published articles by<br />
Gary Watson, from a Currency Converter to our impressive virtual catalogue. All of<br />
our catalogues are available on our website, with many more scans than can be<br />
included in the printed catalogue. By visiting www.prestigephilately.com you can<br />
check on the reserve prices of lots in a sale. We regularly update Starting Prices online,<br />
giving you the opportunity to assess the level of interest before you bid, or to<br />
increase bids you have already submitted. You can place your bids on-line right up to<br />
the time an auction starts.<br />
5. Our Buyer's Premium remains at only 15%, which is becoming more and more<br />
competitive as other firms raise their charges.<br />
6. Credit Cards. We actually encourage you to pay by credit card, and do not<br />
penalise you for doing so. We do not charge you any fee for using Visa or MasterCard.<br />
7. Service Standards. Finally, we are committed to providing you with the highest<br />
possible levels of service. This is reflected in us not charging existing clients for our<br />
catalogues. in making despatch of your purchases a priority; in encouraging you to<br />
return items that do not conform to our high grading standards; allowing out-of-hours<br />
auction viewing; and numerous little things you won’t even know about.<br />
8. Passion! This is our “key ingredient”. By adding passion to the mix, we create<br />
"The <strong>Prestige</strong> Difference".<br />
We truly are committed to making your every transaction with <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> an<br />
enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Understanding our Symbols & Unique Grading System<br />
At <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of.<br />
We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with<br />
the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is<br />
important that you understand our Grading System because the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that<br />
once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the<br />
event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to return it. We stand behind the <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
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<br />
illustration is 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<br />
covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections.<br />
A ‘C’ item will exhibit 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<br />
one would 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<br />
on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may<br />
have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or<br />
handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be<br />
mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item 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<br />
to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the<br />
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<br />
are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the<br />
design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, 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<br />
American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should<br />
be expected and accepted. For such 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<br />
perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’<br />
grading. A stamp with major perforation 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.<br />
However, for many 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<br />
the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’<br />
(complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise<br />
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, followed<br />
by a small "T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest<br />
bidding step). Bids below this 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 />
o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s)

<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - Public <strong>Auction</strong> Terms of Sale<br />
(amended as at 1 st <strong>No</strong>vember 2011: see in particular Paragraph 10 as to the unavailability of extensions to have perfins expertised)<br />
1. AUCTIONEER: <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> Pty Ltd (<strong>Prestige</strong>), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to<br />
the 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 whether in the printed catalogue or in our on-line catalogue.<br />
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is our estimated value 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) are unlikely to be accepted. If<br />
the term “Offer” appears in place of an estimate figure, there is no reserve.<br />
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to <strong>Prestige</strong> by mail, by fax, by e-mail, by phone, or from our website. Bids received by phone must be<br />
confirmed in writing. At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending<br />
an auction. An agent must advise <strong>Prestige</strong> of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable<br />
for payment and delivery of any lots purchased. <strong>Prestige</strong> reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any<br />
reason.<br />
In most cases, <strong>Prestige</strong>'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 />
$500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises<br />
Under $ 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 />
<strong>Prestige</strong> 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 <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 <strong>Prestige</strong>. In the event of equal bids being<br />
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a bidding dispute, <strong>Prestige</strong> shall have absolute discretion in the<br />
settling of the dispute. A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the<br />
buyer until <strong>Prestige</strong> has 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. In addition to the price for which a lot is<br />
sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or credit card use that are<br />
charged by <strong>Prestige</strong>, plus GST as appropriate. <strong>No</strong> buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of on-line literature auctions.<br />
(Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the equivalent of $A50<br />
or 5% of the invoice total, whichever is greater, towards bank fees. Any resulting credit will be 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, <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 />
<strong>Prestige</strong>;<br />
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time - and impose a penalty commission rate of 30% - in<br />
which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses,<br />
shall be met by the original buyer;<br />
4) To apply any monies due at any time from <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 printed catalogue or the on-line catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the<br />
buyer's agent cannot be returned for 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 expressed to be<br />
offered "as is" 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. <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 finding that does not materially affect the grading<br />
of the lot.<br />
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by <strong>Prestige</strong>, and <strong>Prestige</strong> will be<br />
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should <strong>Prestige</strong> 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 may thereafter refuse to accept the<br />
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.

John Bozic, writing in the BSAP "Bulletin" (Aug 2004) recorded only 4 mint examples (one in the Australia Post<br />
collection) & 8 used (2 with Australia Post) and concluded "I place this variety in the same class of rarity as the 2½d<br />
Missing Fraction", which is catalogued at $30,000 mint & $12,500 used. Given that the so-called "Missing Fraction"<br />
is an ink-clogging variety and the "Bite" is a major plate flaw, we believe that this item should be rated higher than<br />
the more famous stamp. {Page 29.1}<br />

enclosed. It was sold for $725 at Gary Watson's auction of 3/3/1986. Subsequent research by Dr Geoff Kellow RDP<br />
proved that the 1d Roo was first released on 2nd January, and only in Melbourne. While datestamp errors are<br />
uncommon in this period, we are confident that the clerk at Jindera simply failed to change the year slug at the<br />

13JUN1823/A 340-D' arrival b/s, some soiling/staining. From the period 1819-1828 when Sydney had no postal<br />
markings. [The lengthy letter speaks of "...the golden days of Lauchlin Macquarie...he has done more good to this<br />
Colony in the last twelve years than will be done in the next twenty-four his prediliction for they prisoners was<br />
certainly his hobbie horse...I am most happy that we had the courage to come out to what they call the land of<br />
Cangerros and Convicts...There are more settlers arriving here every week..."]{Page 71.1}<br />

SHIP LETTER/[crown]/JU 1/1844/SYDNEY' oval d/s in red, London transit & poor 'YORK' arrival b/s in blue. [The<br />
lengthy letter states: "...I seldom see anybody and lead a sort of barbarous life. I occasionally have some trouble<br />
with my convict Boatmen and have had a very serious loss through Building the station on private property which<br />
has been claimed by the Wentworth family...I not only lose my Buildings, but shall have to pay £25 a year<br />
rent...There has been a great want of good faith on the part of the Wentworths..." William Charles Wentworth, one<br />

2004). Ex Rodney Perry & George Molnar. [All stamps have had the perfs trimmed on 2 or 3 sides. While this may<br />
be seen as a detraction, it is actually strong circumstantial evidence that the Victorian stamps were applied by the<br />
sender in NSW]{Page 71.2}<br />

This perforation is known as the "Railway Perf" because the machine was originally used for railway stamps. The<br />
introduction of the 1d Empire Rate in May 1911 greatly increased demand for 1d stamps & this machine was<br />
adapted for postage stamps by adding extra teeth to the comb. NB: Woodford is one of only nine different<br />
