HORN OF AFRICA
Liebe Philatelisten &
Freunde des Auktionshauses Felzmann,
Manchmal hat man das große Glück, nicht eine, sondern zwei besondere Kollektionen eines
versierten Sammlers versteigern zu dürfen. So freuen wir uns, Ihnen nach dem großen Erfolg
der Kollektion Waizero aus unserer 158. Auktion nun die Kollektion „Horn of Africa“ präsentieren
zu dürfen.
Geografisch eng aneinander liegend bietet „Horn of Africa“ ein ebenso umfangreiches wie
facettenreiches Angebot aus fünf verschiedenen Sammelgebieten, das jedes für sich stehend
herausragend ist. Von den Anfängen des Posttransports in der Region durch Kamelpost bis hin
zur Flugpost in der Moderne deckt die Sammlung ein weitläufiges Stück Postgeschichte ab.
Jedes der Sammelgebiete steht für sinnig durchdachte Sammelleidenschaft und begeistert ein
internationales Feld von Sammlern und Liebhabern. Zuletzt waren Belege dieser Art vor 40
Jahren auf dem Markt einem breiten Publikum zugängig, nun bietet Ihnen unsere Sonderauktion
die Chance, sehr rare Stücke marktfrisch zu erwerben.
Die Kollektion „Horn of Africa“ ist ein postgeschichtlich herausragend aufbereitetes Nischengebiet
und beinhaltet Besonderheiten, wie Belege des East African War 1941-1945, die in die drei
Kapitel Postmarks, Red Cross und Prisoners of War aufgeteilt sind. Darüber hinaus vertreten ist
das Sammelgebiet Obock/Djibouti der französischen Postgeschichte, welches mit besonders
seltenen Frankaturen überrascht. Auch das aus der Kollektion Waizero bekannte Gebiet
Äthiopien wird durch Airmail und A.O.I. besonders prominent belegt. Klein aber fein wartet
shipmail Massaua-Aden- Suez mit einem von drei weltweit auf Brief/Ganzstück bekannten
Stempeln auf. Abgerundet wird das Angebot durch Belege der italienischen Postgeschichte aus
Italienisch-Eritrea, die durch ihre detailreiche Struktur überraschen.
Es ist uns eine Freude, Ihnen diese spezielle Kollektion in einem Sonderkatalog präsentieren zu
können. Tauchen Sie in ein besonderes Stück Postgeschichte ein und entdecken Sie den
besonderen Reiz des „Horn of Africa“. Wir laden Sie ein, im Rahmen unserer 160. Saalauktion
am 9. November 2017 Altes neu zu entdecken und sich vom marktfrischen Aufgebot dieser
Sammlung begeistern zu lassen.
Ihr
Ulrich Felzmann

HORN OF AFRICA
Dear Philatelists &
Friends of Auktionshaus Felzmann,
Sometimes one has the good fortune to be able to offer at auction not one but two outstanding
collections from a leading collector. Which is why, following the enormous success of the
Waizero Collection from our 158th Auction, we are now delighted to be able to present you the
Horn of Africa Collection.
The Horn of Africa collection offers an extensive and multifaceted range of material from five
different collection fields, all located close together geographically yet each exceptional in itself.
Beginning with early postal transport in the region and going from camel post to modern-day
airmail, the collection covers a broad period of postal history. Each of the collection fields
reflects the thought and passion that went into creating it and is sure to win over an international
field of collectors and enthusiasts. While covers of this kind have not been freely available
for 40 years, our special auction now gives you the opportunity to acquire extremely rare
material that has not been seen on the market for a long period.
The Horn of Africa collection is a superbly prepared niche area in postal history and contains
specialties such as covers from the East African War (1941-1945), which is broken down into
three chapters: Postmarks, Red Cross and Prisoners of War. Also featured is material from the
Obock/Djibouti collection field of French postal history – with exceptionally rare frankings.
Ethiopia is also prominently represented through airmail and AOI lots. And on a smaller scale,
there is Massaua-Aden-Suez shipmail, with one of three cancellations known worldwide on a
letter/entire piece. The collection is rounded off by Italian Eritrea postal history, which boasts a
surprisingly detailed structure.
It is a very great pleasure for us to be able to present you this outstanding collection in a special
catalogue. Why not delve into a fascinating area of postal history and discover the unique
appeal of the Horn of Africa collection? As part of our 160th auction on the 9th of November
2017, we hereby invite you to rediscover old treasures and to marvel at the gems from this
collection that will soon be going under the hammer at our auction house.
Yours
Ulrich Felzmann

General auction conditions
Which are also applicable exclusively without written
acknowledgement upon submission of personal or written bids.
1. The auctioneer acts in his own name for the
account of his client, who remains anonymous (as
commission agent).
2. During the auction, the auctioneer reserves the
right to combine or separate the lot numbers of the
catalogue, to offer these out of sequence or to
withdraw them.
3. The items to be auctioned can be viewed prior to
the auction. The catalogue descriptions are given to
the best of our knowledge and belief and are no
guaranties according to the Sale of Goods Act. The
auction house accepts no liability for defects, insofar
as it has complied with its duty of care. Apart from
collections, the auction house does however engage
to claim warranty rights from the supplier for justified
claims, which must be notified to the auction house
at the latest within one week of receipt of the item,
within the 1 year period of limitation. In the event of a
successful claim against the supplier, the paid
purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, will
be refunded. Any additional claim, including
compensation for the costs of the claim, such as
postage, inspection fees, etc., is excluded.
4. Knockdown takes place to the highest bidder after
it has been proclaimed three times. In justified cases,
the auctioneer can refuse to knockdown or to award
it subject to a proviso. The auctioneer can withdraw
the knockdown and offer the item again, where a bid
that was made in time was overlooked or where the
highest bidder does not wish for his bid to stand, or
where other doubts arise as to the knockdown. Where
bids are made to the same value, a written bid has
priority over a bid in the room. Telephoned bids must
be subsequently confirmed in writing. The Auctioneer
will accept no liability whatsoever for establishing the
telephone connection or for the communication of
bids – including those
submitted by e-mail or via the internet. In the event
of a knockdown subject to a proviso, until
clarification with the supplier has been obtained, the
bidder is bound by his bid for a minimum of six
weeks; the same applies where bids lower than
starting price are given and sales of unsold lots after
completion of the auction. Bids such as “best” also
rise by up to ten times the proclaimed price.
5. Participation via the internet („Live-Bidding“) and
use of the systems is limited by the auction houses
equipment and the current technical state of said
equipment. The auction house reserves the right to
implement any changes to said equipment to
improve the service provided. The participants accept
that technical faults can occur and shall inform the
auction house when this happens. The auction
house/auctioneer shall not be liable for any
disruption to the online connection nor for the
compatibility of the hardware and software used.
Sellers and bidders have no claims against the
auction house/auctioneer, if a bid or closure does not
come through or is delayed.
6. Upon knockdown being given, the risk for loss or
damage beyond the control of the auctioneer, passes
to the purchaser. Ownership of the purchased item
only passes to the purchaser when complete payment
has been made to the auction house.
7. The obligation to accept arises with the knockdown.
The items are to be received immediately after the
auction. If the purchaser requires shipment within
Germany, this shall be provided at his own expense
and, insofar as he is also a businessman, at his own
risk.
8. The sale of auction lots is subject to differential
taxation. The acquisition price forms the basis for
calculating the premium to be paid by the buyer. A fee
of €2 is charged per auction lot. No VAT is indicated
for goods that are subject to differential taxation.
For buyers in European Union countries: Consumers
pay a standard premium of 23,8% plus lot fee,
postage and insurance.
For Traders (as defined in the German VAT Act
–UStG) pay a premium of 23,8% on goods that are
subject to differential taxation (this premium
includes 19% VAT) plus lot fee, postage and
insurance. In the case of goods that are subject to
regular taxation, a premium of 20% is charged, plus
19% VAT charged on the total sum of acquisition
price, premium, lot fee and postage/insurance. The
movement of goods within the EU can be exempted
from VAT in accordance with statutory provisions.
For buyers resident in third-party countries (outside
the EU): Buyers pay a 20% premium plus lot fee,
postage and insurance. If Auktionshaus Ulrich
Felzmann GmbH & Co. KG exports the goods to
third-party countries itself, the invoice will not
contain VAT. If the goods are exported by the buyer
him/herself or via a third party, VAT will be charged
and reimbursed on presentation of the necessary
proof of export.In all cases, the buyer him/herself will
assume any import taxes or customs duties.
A premium of 20% will be charged for gold coins that
are exempt from VAT.
9. The invoiced amount becomes due with the
knockdown and is payable in cash or by means of a
bank certified cheque. Payments by external
purchasers, who have bid in writing or by phone,
become due within one week of the date of invoice.
Where the purchase is made for a third party, the
bidder shall be liable together with the third party as
a joint and several debtor.
10.In the event of a payment delay or refusal to accept
the acquired lots, the buyer shall lose his/her rights
relating to the acquisition price. Interest of 1.5% per
month shall be charged in the event of a payment
delay. In addition, the auction house can demand, as
it sees fit, fulfilment or, after setting a deadline,
compensation for non-fulfilment. The compensation
can also be calculated in such a way that the item is
auctioned again in a further auction and the
defaulting purchaser is liable for any reduced
proceeds compared with the previous auction and
the special costs for repeat auctioning, including the
fees of the auctioneer. In the event that sold lots are
not paid for in full within a maximum of three months
after the original auction date, the Auctioneer shall
invoice said purchaser for at least the forgone
auctioneer’s fees as compensation for non-fulfilment.
The onus shall be on the purchaser to demonstrate
that the Auctioneer did not incur any damages or
incurred damages of a significantly lesser degree than
the amount in question.
11. The place of fulfilment and jurisdiction for
transactions between merchants is Düsseldorf.
German law applies; the regulations of the United
Nations Sale of Goods Act do not apply.
12. The afore-mentioned conditions do also apply to
any lot sale after the date of auction. The regulations
of mail order sale do neither apply to the auction sale
nor any sale after the date of auction. The sale of
unsold lots is only possible for a limited amount of
time. A winning bid which has been awarded via
online catalogue, an online platform, telephone,
email, or any other form will only be considered
binding upon receipt of an invoice. The surcharges
are calculated in line with point 8 of these terms and
conditions.
13. If one of the above mentioned conditions shall be
wholly or partly void, this shall not affect the validity
of the remaining conditions. In case of any
discrepancies between the German and the English
language version of these General Auction
Conditions as well as any lot description the German
language version is relevant.

Bei differenzbesteuerter Ware wird keine
Mehrwertsteuer ausgewiesen.
Für Käufer aus Ländern der Europäischen Union gilt:
Verbraucher zahlen einheitlich ein Aufgeld von 23,8
% zuzüglich Losgebühr, Porto und Versicherung.
Für Gewerbetreibende im Sinne des UStG zahlen bei
differenzbesteuerter Ware 23,8 % Aufgeld
(im Aufgeld ist die gesetzliche Mehrwertsteuer von
19% enthalten) zuzüglich Losgebühr, Porto und
Versicherung. Für Händler wird bei regelbesteuerter
Ware ein Aufgeld von 20 % zuzüglich 19 % MwSt. auf
die Summe aus Zuschlag, Aufgeld, Losgebühr und
Porto/Versicherung erhoben. Der innereuropäische
Warenverkehr kann gemäß den gesetzlichen
Bestimmungen von der Umsatzsteuer befreit werden.
Für Käufer mit Wohnsitz in Drittländern (außerhalb
der EU) gilt: Käufer zahlen 20 % Aufgeld zuzüglich
Losgebühr, Porto und Versicherung. Führt das
Auktionshaus Ulrich Felzmann GmbH & Co. KG die
Ware selbst in Drittländer aus, wird die Rechnung
ohne gesetzliche Umsatzsteuer erstellt. Wird die
Ware vom Käufer selbst oder durch Dritte ins
Drittland ausgeführt, wird die gesetzliche
Umsatzsteuer berechnet, bei Vorlage der
notwendigen Ausfuhrnachweise erstattet.
Im Drittland anfallende Importsteuern oder Zölle
trägt der Käufer in jedem Fall selbst.
Für Goldmünzen, die umsatzsteuerbefreit sind, gilt
ein Aufgeld von 20 %.
9. Der Rechnungsbetrag ist mit dem Zuschlag fällig
und zahlbar in bar oder durch bankbestätigten
Scheck. Zahlungen auswärtiger Erwerber, die
schriftlich oder telefonisch geboten haben, sind
binnen einer Woche nach Rechnungsdatum fällig. Bei
Kauf für einen Dritten haftet der Bieter mit diesem
als Gesamtschuldner.
10. Bei Zahlungsverzug oder Abnahmeverweigerung
der zugeschlagenen Lose verliert der Käufer seine
Rechte aus dem Zuschlag. Als Verzugsschaden
werden 1,5 % Zinsen pro Monat berechnet. Im
Übrigen kann das Auktionshaus wahlweise Erfüllung
oder nach Fristsetzung Schadensersatz wegen
Nichterfüllung verlangen; der Schadensersatz kann
dabei auch so berechnet werden, dass die Sache in
einer weiteren Auktion nochmals versteigert wird und
der säumige Käufer für einen Mindererlös gegenüber
der früheren Versteigerung und die besonderen
Kosten der wiederholten Versteigerung einschließlich
der Gebühren des Versteigerers aufzukommen hat.
Bei der endgültigen Nichtabnahme zugeschlagener
Lose, spätestens jedoch drei Monate nach dem
ursprünglichen Versteigerungstermin, stellt der
Versteigerer dem Schuldner mindestens die
ausgefallenen Versteigerungsprovisionen als
Schadensersatz wegen Nichterfüllung in Rechnung.
Dem Schuldner bleibt vorbehalten nachzuweisen,
dass dem Versteigerer ein Schaden überhaupt nicht
oder in wesentlich geringerer Höhe als diese
Pauschale entstanden ist.
11. Erfüllungsort und Gerichtsstand für den
kaufmännischen Verkehr ist Düsseldorf. Es gilt
deutsches Recht; das UN-Abkommen über Verträge
des internationalen Warenkaufs findet keine
Anwendung.
12. Vorstehende Bedingungen gelten sinngemäß auch
für den Nachverkauf. Die Bestimmungen über
Verkäufe im Fernabsatz finden keine Anwendung. Der
Nachverkauf unverkaufter Lose findet für einen
begrenzten Zeitraum statt. Die über einen
Onlinekatalog oder eine Onlineplattform erteilten
Zuschläge oder Zusagen über einen Zuschlag per
Email, Telefon oder sonstige Art, gelten erst ab
Zugang der Rechnung als verbindlich. Zu den
Zuschlagsbeträgen werden die Aufgelder gemäß
Punkt 8 dieser Bedingungen berechnet.
13. Sollte eine der vorstehenden Bedingungen ganz
oder teilweise unwirksam sein, bleibt die Gültigkeit
der übrigen davon unberührt. Bei fremdsprachiger
Losbeschreibung ist stets die deutsche Fassung
maßgeblich.
