Bidding normally starts in the auction room and the lot will be adjudicated ignoring the Internet unless an Internet bidder has been recognised before the last price is reached. Please click on the bid button as early as possible for your FIRST BID in the bidding as it may take a moment to connect via the server due to the differ ent Internet connection speeds around the world. Once your bid is relayed the auctioneer notes an Internet presence and will delay the bidding at the end giving you a chance to finalise your bid. When and only when there is an Internet bidder the display will show GOING GOING GONE! in sequence confirming the end of the bidding. You must get your final bid through at the moment of the display of the first GOING. Sometimes several Internet bids may be made at the same moment. The server accepts the first bid received and ignores the others at the same price. This explains why you may have bid but the next bid is NOT for you. Please bid again immediately.

If more is required before the sale just send us an E-Mail at:“accounts@davidfeldman.com” mentioning the new desired credit limit.

David Feldman pioneered the opportunity for its clients to bid “live” at its auctions by a simple click on the Internet. Log in at www.davidfeldman.com and practice our simulation system to prepare yourself for online bidding in our next auction series. Sellers can also follow the journey and results of their consignment and join in the excitement of participating in the sale of their property lot by lot as the auction hammer adjudicates each item. A client said “I've been buying stamps and covers from auctions and dealers over 30 years and have now decided to sell my collection. My collection is international in nature with possible buyers everywhere. I was wondering how to go about making the best decision. I was particularly concerned where it should sell and with whom. My participation in your last auction by Internet assures me that the David Feldman company must be the right choice...”

All World

Europe, British, Overseas & Collections Introduction After our highly successful Spring Auctions last April, our cupboards were relatively bare, and the daunting task of assembling enough fresh material for this Autumn series of auctions was barely under way. What ensued became the philatelic equivalent of the “perfect storm,” where all elements combined to produce a torrent, a deluge, an onslaught of wonderful and valuable properties from vendors all over the globe. We have never seen anything like it. So much of the content of this catalogue came in at or even after the “last minute” that this catalogue was produced under severe time pressures; a small percentage of the scans used for the illustrations may have suffered, some of the proof reading was cursory, and some of the collating left things to be desired - we know it, and we apologize for these trivial technical matters. In the final analysis, however, we have managed to include more total estimated value in our Autumn auctions than at any time in the last decade and a half. Among the Europe lots, one of our favourite areas, Classic Spain, is present here in depth, as is a large section of France and Colonies. British Commonwealth features high quality GB Line Engraved. Overseas has marvelous Egypt, Mexico, Thailand and some strong USA classic covers. Olympics, Airmail Crash Covers and Polar postal history contribute to a section of Thematics. Finally, among our semi-annual feast of Collections, Large Lots & Estates, there are many great lots to get your pulse racing, at all price levels, from mere accumulations to fantastic specialised exhibit collections offered intact and estates sold as received. This catalogue also includes corresponding lots from our “Rarities” catalogue for your reference; please note that the descriptions of these are of necessity often abridged, and illustrations reduced, to fit into this format. Of course, the full “Rarities” catalogue can be seen on line at our web site, www.davidfeldman.com We know that many vendors invariably wait until the “last minute,” and we encourage not only them, but all of you, to consider that our having a few days' more time for research, reflection, and comparison will invariably result in a better catalogue and perhaps better final results for the vendors. So if you are contemplating selling something in our next auctions, in Spring 2009, please don't wait for the final deadline - you have our attention NOW, and we will treat you like the proverbial prodigal and lavish all our attention upon your consignment, to the best of our abilities. You'll find we are friendly and flexible, and are willing to discuss special arrangements with full Swiss discretion. Our hundreds of satisfied vendors world-wide for over 40 years can attest to our dedication to philately, our passion for rarity and our unique abilities to promote items from every conceivable niche in the globe. Please call or e-mail us at your earliest convenience, and we will be glad to discuss with you, at no cost or obligation, how we could work together with David Feldman SA as YOUR reliable partner in philately. And now, please “dive into” what we are calling the “perfect storm” catalogue!

Remarkable Multiples of 1866-70 Roulettes: Four Different Mint Blocks of Four Wove Paper: 5 penni Roulette A (without gum; cert. Schwenson), plus 8 penni Roulette C (with gum), 20 penni Roulette B (with gum; cert. Schwenson); and 40 penni Roulette C (with gum; cert. Schwenson). A couple minor faults or short teeth; probably an unique opportunity to acquire four blocks showing all the different roulettes, for the simple reason that mint blocks are hardly ever to be found. At most, 2 or 3 of some of the blocks offered here may exist (Facit 5 v3 C1; 6 v1 C3; 8 v2 C2a; 9 v3 C3; not catalogued by Facit in blocks) October 3-6, 2008

The Famous Saxony Sheet

DCE J

Unique 1850 “Dreier Sachsen” Complete Unused Sheet of 20

40489

Arranged in four rows of five, the sheet of the 3pfg resembles, at first glance, a Bavaria multiple, for the stamp’s design (by Leipzig lithographer J.B. Hirschfeld) was modelled after the “Schwarze Einzer” of the previous year (it was, in fact, the second stamp issue of the German States). The auction catalogue for the Burrus German States stated, “he could not have dreamed that his handiwork would be raised to the pinnacle of philatelic admiration...the famous “Dreier Sachsen” is the pride and joy of German philately.” Though nearly 500’000 were printed, the stamp was intended to be used on printed matter, thus only a tiny percentage - mostly used - have survived, and multiples of any kind are extremely scarce

This, the ONLY complete sheet known, owes its survival to its having been pasted to a fire-screen in a castle at Eibenstock on the banks of the Elbe. It was carefully removed in 1871 (though it had suffered some minor blemishes, it was competently restored) and by 1876 was in the holdings of Vienna stamp dealer Siegmund Friedl, a featured attraction of his “Friedl’schen Museum”

For more information on Provenance, see the “Rarities of the World” catalogue Given the importance of this showpiece to world philately, and its romantic history, it clearly ranks as one of the pre-eminent “crown jewels” of the German States and indeed of World philately Provenance: Ferrary (Sale VI, lot 546) Gerold E.

The Greatest Known Mixed Issues Franking

Spectacular cover (docketed June 1867) from Cassel to Schermbeck, franked by extraordinary massive group of 4th & 5th issues: vertical pair plus 2 singles of the 1865 1/4sgr (Michel 35) plus “block of 3” and strip of 3 of the rare 1867 1/3sgr (Michel 46) rouletted in coloured lines, totalling 3sgr for a single weight letter over 25 miles. Though the 1990 Dr. Sommer certificate mentions peripheral (and unimportant) flaws to some stamps near the edges of the cover, it also calls it the “non plus ultra” item for a great Thurn & Taxis collection, and also the largest and scarcest such franking known to him of these rare issues, with no similar cover known. After a lifetime of living and breathing these issues, Dr. Sommer’s testimony is authoritative! Expertise: certificate Dr. Sommer (1990) Estimate: e40’000 - e60’000

Outstanding exhibition showpiece & one of the highest Large Hermes Heads frankings recorded. Rate: 390 Lepta for triple weight registered letter, valid from 1865. Three times the 65 Lepta single weight rate = 195 Lepta; registered letters were to be charged double the amount due for ordinary ones. Although the 1865 treaty between Greece and Italy provided for a 55 Lepta universal registration fee, it seems that in this case this was ignored, and the general rule of double postage was applied.

The First Stamp of Russia 1857 Tiflis Postmaster’s Provisional - One of 3 Known of Russia’s 1st Adhesive

Background & Provenance: the first mention of this issue, with some details, was published by Russian expert K.K. Schmidt in 1924. He had owned an example of this stamp since 1913. Subsequently, it was sold to Agathon Fabergé, who had rescued a part of his collection during the Russian revolution, and took it abroad. Until 1917, Fabergé owned two of the Tiflis stamps - one from Agar Romanovich Kirchner, the second from von Werkmeister. When Ferrary’s collection was auctioned, Fabergé bought the third - and only other known example. All three were shown at the inaugural philatelic exhibition in 1928 in Helsingfors, Finland, and again at the international exhibition WIPA in 1933 in Austria.

They were sold at auction in London during World War II. Finally, all three were reunited in the collection of Zbigniew Mikulski, the foremost expert on Russian philately. Two of the stamps were publicly displayed for the first time at the world philatelic exhibition “Moscow-97.” The two best examples, including the one offered here, changed hands once again in 1998.

The example offered is reported to be the finest of the three known, with nearly full original gum, with several old annotations on reverse including that of Fabergé. There is a light horizontal bend and some slight soiling - Tiflis was not London! - else very fine

N° 1 + 2: Unique Cover Franked by 10 Kopecks Imperf & Perforated

March 4, 1858 Cover from Warsaw to Vilno franked at opposite corners by corner margin imperforate First Issue 10 Kopecks (issued December 1857) at lower left and by its Second Issue perforated counterpart (issued one month later) at upper right. As the numbers distributed of the imperforate First Issue were limited, and quickly used up, this remarkable franking is the only recorded example of such a usage on cover from anywhere in the Russian imperium. Both stamps were cancelled first by single pen strokes, as mandated by the Decree of December 10, 1857, and also by the red Warszawa cds in use since pre-adhesive times. A remarkable “crown jewel” of Russian philately, among the rarest possible usages (the Mikulski, Liphschutz and Bianchi collections each had this combination, but only on piece). An important “foundation” item for the greatest collection of Imperial Russia. Expertise: certificate BPA (1995) Estimate: e200’000 - e300’000

Addressed to the Austrian Embassy at St. Petersburg, and backstamped there on April 28 (afternoon). Trivial envelope tears away from franking. When sold as part of the Mikulski collection, it was described as having “the regal appearance of this magnificent cover.” The centrepiece of the famous Mikulski Collection, this cover is the most attractive mixed issues franking of Imperial Russia, and has long been acknowledged the most important item of Russian philately and one of the greatest “gems” of international philately. It has been a stellar attraction whenever it has been exhibited, and truly deserves its status as the unique “Crown Jewel” of Russian philately.

Local issues

1929-79 Locals, Local Patriotic, Local Charity and Local Obligatory Surtax issues, massive three-volume collection with many listed by Edifil (some at impressive prices) as well as by other catalogues, loaded with complete sets often accompanied by min.sheets and varieties (inverted ovpts, imperfs, etc.) and occasional attractive uses on cover. We have never seen a collection to match this in terms of completion, scope and importance, and our estimate is very conservative. Very fine overall (1000s) (Est. e2’400/3’600)

A wonderful new discovery of which circa twenty-five mint copies exist and just one postally used. We understand that brown was the intended colour for the (issued) £5 azure but due to last-minute technical issues these were withdrawn. It has also been confirmed that one complete sheet exists in the printers’s archives. An excellent opportunity to be one of the first to obtain a significant holding of this future classic.

1878 Large Dragon Imperforate Essay - the Rare Rose Colour

The imperforate “Large Dragon” essays of the 5 Candarins show an extra circle near the left claw of the central dragon; the rarest as a single stamp is this example in Rose, ungummed as made, with oversized balanced margins all around (trivial natural irregularities in the wire-wove paper). Superb showpiece. Only one other in this colour has ever been recorded, and this is the finer of the two known. As such, its importance to an exhibit or collection of the Large Dragons cannot be overstated. It is truly one of the “Pearls” of Chinese philately

1878 Large Dragon Imperforate Essay Block of Four 5 Candarins value printed in Brownish Ochre; the block has the extra circles near the left claw of the dragon, and comes from positions 19-20/24-25 of the inique imperforate sheet of 25. It has partial sheet margin at the foot (with strong gum bend there) and full original gum, with the lower pair never hinged. The colour, unusual for these essays and much darker than that chosen for the issued stamps, is exceptional. At a few places (most notable at lower right), the block shows dark specks (indicative of insufficient ink suffusion or homogeneity) and excess ink (which has penetrated the paper). Given that only two other blocks in this colour are known (ex Ireland and ex David), and that none share the same cliches, it is acknowledged that only two sheets were printed in this colour - one of which was perforated, and remains intact (see next lot) and another which remained imperforate and was split to produce the 3 known blocks.

A magnificent showpiece of the earliest stages of the Large Dragon issues and a “Pearl” of Chinese philately.

5 Candarins brownish ochre, complete sheet of 25 with practically full margins all around, with trial perforation 12 1/2, some minor imperfections (small selvage nib, creasing in top and bottom margins) of no importance.

For more detailed background, see full description in the “Rarities” catalogue

The sheet shows small black spots in the inked portions, where it is evident that the ink was not properly homogenous. Since similar spots occur in other brownish ochre essays, it may be indicative of why this colour was not chosen for the issued stamps.

This sheet, the only one of any of the “extra circle” essays with perforation, is an indispensable showpiece for a serious exhibit of Classic China

The Crown Jewel of Chinese Philately

60020

The “Countess Caroline” Cover of the Large Dragons 5 Candarins Wide Setting

The famous cover addressed to Gräfin Caroline Tattenbach, artfully franked on reverse by the remarkable block of nine of the 5 Candarins Large Dragon, wide setting (Setting III [types 7+5, 12+8 / 19-6-20-13-14), cancelled and tied by attractive blue oval Peking “pa kua” cancels and showing I.G. Customs / Peking cds for March 25, 1883. Sent to Germany via the French post office in Shanghai; the reverse shows Chinese Customs Shanghai cds of March 30. The front of the cover is franked by 1.25 Francs of postage tied by French P.O. SHANG-HAI /CHINE cds of April 1, and shows April 8 French Maritime cds plus Munich, Germany arrival of May 12. While another cover (internal mail) is known franked by strips of 4 and 5 of the 5 Candarins, that cover is heavily stained and lacks the elegance and importance of this block franking. This cover has been gently cleaned. Type 8 (the upper right stamp) shows the “long-leg Dah” (top right character).

Under the Postal Tariff of 1882, the franking of 45 Candarins would have paid for a five-fold letter rate (i.e. five times the single-weight letter rate for 0.4 Chinese oz., or up to 2 Chinese oz.), while the French franking also paid a five-fold letter rate to Europe. The cover was fully described by Ireland in his handbook on the Large Dragons, p. 105.

When last offered by our company, in 1984, this cover set a new world record realisation for an Asian item at CHF 340’000. It was sold that year for nearly double that figure, and became the ultimate “pearl” in the Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman “String of Pearls” Collection. (In the 1997 Sotheby’s-Corinphila auction, it was estimated at an equivalent of e750’000)

Provenance: Warren Cauder Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman; part of their Grand-Prix collection of the Large Dragons (Singapore ‘95) and its exemplary showpiece, published in the “Grand Prix Club” book and elsewhere, and exhibited at Claridge’s “Rare Stamps of the World” and at Anphilex 1997.

Estimate: e800’000 - e1’000’000

This cover has been widely acknowledged ever since its achievement of the highest price for a Chinese item in 1984 as the “Crown Jewel” of China philately. Its impressive quality and presence give it pride of place as the top ambassador for China in any presentation of “Rarities of the World.”

Mixed Franking of Large & Small Dragon Issues

Sent to Denmark, the cover was posted at the Chinese Customs post office at Chinkiang, with January 9, 1887 cds tying Large Dragon 1 Candarin Bright Green and 5 Candarins Chrome Yellow, plus Small Dragon 3 Candarins Mauve. This 9 Candarins franking entirely pre-paid the equivalent 25 Centimes rate for a cover to Europe via the French post office.

The cover was carried by the Customs Post to Shanghai, where it was backstamped on January 10, and deposited at the French post office there. It was further franked by a 25c French Colonies stamp tied by the French “Shang-Hai / Chine” cds of January 11. Final Danish backstamp of February 2.

Note that the cover has been sensibly opened for display, and that the Small Dragon stamp shows the typical rough perforation. Covers showing a mixed franking of the Large & Small Dragons are far scarcer than covers with Large Dragon stamps alone, and this cover is at the pinnacle of the finest and most attractive that have survived.

Provenance: Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman (ex “String of Pearls” Collection)

330

ALL WORLD

One of the “Pearls” of Chinese Philately, recognised as by far the finer of probably only two genuine mixed frankings of the Large and Small Dragons on one cover. This attractive three-colour franking is clearly one of the greatest items in classic China philately, and ranks according to the Beckemans as second only to the famous “Countess Caroline” cover.

1932 Chinese Soviet Republic Issue - the Edgar Snow Find

The Chinese Soviet Republic, under Mao Zedong’s direction, was established in Jiangxi province in 1931. It was from this “small state within a state” that Mao gained the experience in mobile warfare and peasant organization that he later used to accomplish the Communist conquest of China in the late 1940s. Its collapse in 1934 under repeated Nationalist assaults was the beginning of the famous “Long March.” In 1932, a set of 7 postage and 2 postage due stamps was printed at Ruijin by the Ministry of Finance.

American journalist Edgar Snow (born 1905 in Missouri, died 1972 in Geneva) was an early witness and the first western newsman to obtain an interview with Mao Zedong. Snow’s reporting from China in the 1930s was both praised as prescient and blamed for the rise of Mao’s communism.

Passed down from Mr. Snow to his family are the stamps offered here, from the 1932 Pictorial issue: - single examples of the 1c, 3c, 5c and the extremely rare 30c - “block of three” of the 3c value and irregular “block of 9” (se-tenant vert. strip of 5 + block of 4) of the 1c value (minor faults) - singles of the 1c and 2c postage dues but with crude perforation 8 1/2 All are without gum as issued, and have never been hinged. Some have minor creases or folds endemic to the soft newsprint paper. The 30c has a tear at left almost entirely in the margin, and is creased, otherwise all with normal to large margins and fresh colours (SG SR2//7, SRD8-9 variety, £59’300)

An exceptional offer of an historic holding of stamps which are among the rarest issues of China

Papyrus from the Ptolemaic Period The Famous “Fayoum” Letter (2nd Century BC) A letter in Demotic script, written from the city of Fayoum, on two large papyrus fragments (reused as the soles of the feet of a cartonnage coffin). The letter summarises the business affairs of an Egyptian whose name remains only as Wah-. The subject matter of the letter is largely agricultural: line 6 reads “The Island of Atum” - a typical name for farmland in the Nile Valley, and there is also mention of vines and other crops. The period covered seems extensive, as the first line refers to “Year 18,” line 13 to “Regnal Year 8” and the last line mentions “Year 6.” Line 10 lists women’s names, including Tentese and Tenthornedjiotef. Among the earliest known philatelic items on papyrus. Unique historical showpiece Provenance: Nile Collection Estimate: e30’000 - e50’000

Unfolded Envelope made from a Parchment Section of a Destroyed Torah Scroll An unique historic document from the Holocaust, Stamped and sent through the post! Torah scrolls were rolls made of sheets of parchment. Many were desecrated during 1939-1945 in Europe and were used for many purposes ; sandals, slippers, hand-bags, musical instruments, lampshades and in this instance a complete parchment sheet was folded and used to make an envelope. This is the sole such item to have been signed and dated by the desecrater who even supplies his home address. Corporal Herman Nelleke served in a German military unit that took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union. He sent a letter from the War Front using this parchment as his envelope. On the verso he inscribed, in German, the address of his family home in Nurndorf, Germany and added his own name and military postal unit D-44688 on the Russian front. The addressee is Mrs. Kati Nelleke apparently the soldier’s mother or wife. Alongside her address, a 20pf Hitler stamp overprinted “Ukraine” (Mi. 11) was affixed and postmarked Sept. 11, 1942, a correct usage in that area of the German occupied territories. This historic find was discovered in Munich after the end of World War II by Mr. Z. E. Kampinsky, a well known member of a Zionist Organisation in Heidenheim. On the parchment, purchased from a German citizen, Kampinsky wrote his name in Yiddish with the date of the redemption of the parchment in September 1946. The parchment comes from a Torah Scroll identified as having been written in 18th century Poland and measures 51 x 33 cm; it shows some of the original stitching. It includes 4 columns of script from the book of Deuteronomy. By coincidence, the biblical text begins with chapter 11, verse 12, and includes the second paragraph of the Shema, which is recited every morning and evening by observant Jews. The reciting of this prayer dates back to the Second Temple period (2nd century BC) and this well known liturgy has been recited by Jewish Martyrs before their execution! This envelope with stamp, which has obvious philatelic interest, was exhibited for the first time in May 2004 at the Tel Aviv International Stamp Exhibition where it won the award for “Most Interesting Item.” It has also been the subject of an article in the Jerusalem Post in March 2004.

Classic Issues Rarity: 1894 “Dai Nihon Teikoku Yubin Kitte Enkakushi” This official history of the Japanese posts included examples of all stamps issued to date; as there were none of the 1 sen or 2 sen perforated Dragons on hand (or the original plates), these were reproduced using new steel plates. Of 300 “Enkakushi” issued, perhaps only a dozen have survived. The present example is complete with all stamps and postal stationery as issued, and with original silk binding (slightly worn). It was presented by members of the Japanese delegation at the U.P.U. Congress at Budapest in July 1896 to another delegate (as attested by formal inscriptions on first page). We know of only one other example of this rare book having changed hands during the last two decades. Estimate: e10’000 - e15’000

Unique

Complete Panes of the 1847 First Issue

Plate Proofs with SPECIMEN overprints

We now have the honour of offering for the first time ever at public auction the unique complete india paper specimen proof panes of 100, in their resplendent present state. They are undoubtedly a “foundation” for a serious museum presentation of the 1847 issue, and rank with the greatest of world rarities especially for their importance to classic USA philately.

Condition: Fresh colours, the 5c in a vivid orange-brown, the 10c in luxuriant black, both enhanced by the optical properties of the brilliant white india paper on which they were printed.

Unique Complete Panes of the 1847 First Issue

Plate Proofs with SPECIMEN overprints

The 10c pane shows position 100 with a portion of the outside corner missing, and margins trimmed just into the outer right frameline at a few places, while the 5c pane is complete, with excellent margins, save for a tiny corner nib, also at position 100. Because of the nature of india paper, there are the expected trivial imperfections which in no way diminish the attraction of these magnificent exhibition items and indispensable resources for study.

These two proof sheets encompassing the First Issue of the United States are worthy of the greatest exhibition collection, and comprise one of the most important museum displays for this - or any - issue of the United States.

At David Feldman, Excellence in Philately, A Passion for Rarities This catalogue is typical of the presentation, preparation and philatelic knowledge we bring to EVERY property consigned to us for sale through our semi-annual auctions. Our knowledgeable staff of philatelists and other specialists work to create a true “labour of love” which showcases in an appropriate manner EVERY rarity, specialised collection and large lot, based on over 40 years’ experience in the philatelic marketplace.

The “Crown Jewel” of Philately, the famous “Bordeaux Cover,” franked by the complete 1847 “Post Office” issue of Mauritius, sold through our auctions in 1993 for CHF6'123'750 – the all-time world’s record for ANY philatelic item!

If YOU have a property which may be for sale in the future, it will literally pay you to contact us. Every auction company trumpets “high prices,” but we have set - and hold - world record prices in every area of philately, from individual rarities to large lots. If you want to be sure of obtaining a great result for your great philatelic property, get in touch as early as possible, because preparation in good time is key. Our auction series each Spring and Autumn both feature a separate catalogue of Rarities (often including highly specialised collections offered intact), large lots and estates, plus stamps and postal history from the world over, with separate specialised auction catalogues as warranted. Items for inclusion in our Autumn auctions must reach us by late June, and for our Spring auctions by midJanuary. We can arrange to meet you at your home or office, as our staff travels extensively and we have representatives in 25 countries, on every continent, world-wide.

David Feldman SA - Conditions de Vente La monnaie utilisée pour cette vente est l’Euro (e)

La participation dans l’une des ventes aux enchères de David Feldman SA implique une adhésion totale aux conditions décrites ci-dessous ainsi qu’aux droits et obligations qui en découlent. Ces mêmes conditions sont applicables à toute transaction en relation à des pièces ou des lots faisant partie de la vente aux enchères et conclue en dehors de celle-ci. La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A., organisatrice de la présente vente aux enchères, agit exclusivement comme mandataire et n'assume donc aucune responsabilité quelconque en cas de manquement(s) des acheteurs et/ou vendeurs. 1. LES LOTS SONT MIS EN VENTE 1.1 Sur la base de leur présentation dans le catalogue et/ou sur le site internet: Les lots sont décrits avec le plus grand soin sans toutefois engager la responsabilité de la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Les photographies font partie intégrante des descriptions pour ce qui est des marges, de la dentelure, du centrage, des oblitérations et de toute autre qualité apparente. La description des lots mentionne si les pièces sont signées par des experts et/ou sont accompagnées de certificats d'expertise. 1.2 Sur la base de leur examen: Tous les lots peuvent être examinés, avant et pendant la vente dans nos bureaux ou à l’endroit de la vente, aux horaires indiqués dans le catalogue de vente ou sur notre site Internet. Les acheteurs ayant examiné les lots avant la vente et/ou y participant personnellement et/ou y étant représentés, sont censés avoir examiné tous les lots achetés et les accepter dans l'état où ils se trouvent lors de l'adjudication, indépendamment de la description figurant dans le catalogue. 2. LES OFFRES D'ENCHERES 2.1 Chaque offre d'enchère doit être supérieure à celle formulée précédemment selon l'échelle suivante: (la monnaie peut changer selon la vente aux enchères) e 50 - 100 e 5 e 2000 - 5000 e 200 e 10 e 5000 - 10000 e 500 e 100 - 200 e 20 e 10000 - 20000 e 1000 e 200 - 500 e 50 e 20000 - 50000 e 2000 e 500 - 1000 e 100 e 50000 - 100000 e 5000 e 1000 - 2000 Les offres se situant entre ces montants seront arrondies à la surenchère supérieure. L'enchérisseur est lié par son offre tant qu'une nouvelle surenchère n'a pas été valablement formulée par un autre enchérisseur. 2.2 L'huissier ou le crieur a le droit d'avancer les enchères, de séparer, joindre ou retirer n'importe quel lot, cela à son entière discrétion. La vente a lieu en français mais les enchères pourront être répétées en anglais. La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. est également autorisée à enchérir pour le compte de vendeurs lorsque des prix de réserve ont été fixés. Si le vendeur fixe des prix de réserve pour certains de ses lots, il sera alors considéré comme acheteur et la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. enchérira pour le compte de celui-ci jusqu'à concurrence des prix de réserve fixés. Lorsque le prix fixé par le vendeur n'est pas atteint, il sera passé à la criée du lot suivant par un simple coup de marteau. 2.3 Les offres d’enchères écrites reçues par David Feldman SA ou sur le site Internet avant la vente, sont dans tous les cas prioritaires sur les offres d'enchères faites dans la salle de vente. L'enchérisseur donnant un ordre d'enchères écrit peut faire des offres alternatives et/ou limiter le montant global de ses offres. Les offres d'enchères données "à acheter" sont considérées comme pouvant atteindre jusqu'à 10 fois la valeur de l'estimation imprimée dans le catalogue. Les enchères doivent être faites en euros. Les offres d'enchères libellées en d'autres monnaies seront converties en euros au cours du jour de leur réception par la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Toute offre écrite d'enchères est considérée comme liant son auteur pendant 60 jours après la date de la vente aux enchères. La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. est donc en droit de facturer la marchandise à l'enchérisseur jusqu'à l'expiration de ce délai. Toute facture reçue par celui-ci est de ce fait valable et doit être payée immédiatement. 3. LA VENTE AUX ENCHERES 3.1 La vente en direct se déroule sous le contrôle de l’autorité compétente qui n’assume cependant aucune responsabilité. La vente aux enchères se déroule sous le ministère d'un "huissier judiciaire" de la République et Canton de Genève. La monnaie de la vente aux enchères est l'euro. 3.2 Prérogatives de David Feldman S.A.: La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. est en droit selon sa libre appréciation de retirer, de diviser ou de grouper les lots faisant partie de la présente vente ainsi que de refuser l'adjudication de n'importe lequel desdits lots. La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. se réserve le droit de refuser selon sa libre appréciation toute offre d'enchères et/ou l'entrée de la salle de vente à n'importe quelle personne quelle qu'elle soit. La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. n’assume aucune responsabilité quelconque en cas de dommage corporel survenu sur les lieux de la vente. 3.3 Représentants et Agents de Vente aux Enchères: L’enchèrisseur qui agit pour le compte d’un tiers engage son entière responsabilité personelle en particulier en ce qui concerne toutes les obligations contractées dans le cadre de la présente vente. Cette responsabilité s’étend notamment à la verification de la qualité des lots achetés ainsi qu’au règlement ultérieur de la facture des lots acquis. 3.4 L’adjudication: Chaque lot est adjugé au plus offrant pour le compte de son vendeur respectif. Des frais de 19.5% sont facturés en sus du prix d'adjudication par David Feldman SA couvrant la commission, les taxes d'adjudication, frais par lot, assurance, emballage, frais de port, frais d'exportation etc. et ceci dans tous les cas, tous frais encourus ou pas. A la tombée du marteau, les profits et risques des lots ainsi adjugés passent à l'enchérisseur dont l'offre à été acceptée. La marchandise ne sera cependant remise à l'acquéreur qu'au moment du règlement intégral du prix d'achat (prix d'adjudication plus les frais). Exceptionnellement, pour les lots marqués d'un "#" à la fin de la description, ceux-ci sont particulièrement lourds et les frais de port sont facturés en sus et à prix coutant. Les acheteurs donnant des instructions particulières au sujet de l'expédition de leurs lots sont responsables pour leurs frais de port. TVA (Taxe à la vente) - Note indicative concernant les ventes aux enchères dont les lots se trouvent en Suisse: Les acheteurs domiciliés à l'étranger ne sont pas soumis à cette taxe, à condition que les marchandises soient exportées hors de Suisse. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. se fera un plaisir de s'occuper de l'exportation de ces marchandises. Les clients peuvent aussi faire cette exportation par leurs propres moyens; dans ce cas, ils doivent fournir à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. une attestation dûment signée et timbrée par les douanes suisses. Toute acquisition par des acheteurs désirant garder la marchandise en Suisse est soumise à la taxe TVA de 7.6% sur le prix d'achat en francs suisses, montant converti à l'équivalent en euros pendant la vente. 3.5 Paiement: Les adjudicataires présents sont tenus de payer comptant en euros le prix d'achat et la commission contre remise de la marchandise acquise. Le paiement en d’autres monnaies est accepté au cours du jour tel qu'établi par une des grandes banques suisses. Les enchérisseurs par correspondance auxquels un lot est adjugé ainsi que les adjudicataires présents auxquels la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A.

accorde l'autorisation expresse d'acquitter les montants dus après la vente, sont tenus de payer le prix d'achat et la commission due à réception de la facture de la vente aux enchères. Dans ce cas, la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. conserve les lots adjugés qui ne seront remis à leurs acheteurs qu'à réception par la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. du paiement intégral des montants dus. Sauf instructions spéciales de l'acheteur, l'envoi des lots s'effectue par la poste, la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. assure, de manière usuelle, la marchandise pour le transit. Les lots, délivrés ou non, conservent titre de propriété de la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. pour le compte du vendeur jusqu’au paiement intégral de la facture. 3.6 Facilités de paiement: La Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. accorde, selon sa libre appréciation, des facilités de paiement aux acheteurs. L'acheteur au bénéfice de telles facilités paie un montant minimum de 25% du montant total de la facture dès réception de celle-ci puis acquitte le solde encore dû en mensualités égales sur une période de 6 mois maximum. Un intérêt mensuel plus les frais encourus au taux de 1% sont perçus, à partir de la date de la vente, par la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. L'intérêt est débité chaque mois au compte du client. En cas d'oc- troi de facilités de paiement, la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. garde les lots adjugés jusqu'au paiement intégral des montants dus par l'acheteur, étant précisé que l'acheteur peut, en tout temps avant livraison, examiner la marchandise acquise auprès de la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Par ailleurs, l'acheteur perd tout droit de réclamation tel que prévu sous chiffre 4 ci-dessous, 30 jours après la date de la vente aux enchères. 3.7 Droit de gage: Jusqu'au paiement intégral du montant dû, l'acheteur confère à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. un droit de gage sur la totalité des lots gardés par DAVID FELDMAN S.A., acquis avant, pendant et/ou après la présente vente aux enchères. Ce gage garantit le remboursement de tout montant dû en capital, intérêts, commissions et frais éventuels. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. est autorisée, mais non obligée, à réaliser les gages sans autres formalités et sans préavis si l'acquéreur est en demeure pour le paiement de sa dette ou l'exécution d'une obligation quelconque. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. pourra dans tous les cas réaliser les gages de gré à gré. A cet effet, elle n'est pas tenue d'observer les formalités prévues par la Loi fédérale sur la poursuite pour dette et faillite; DAVID FELDMAN S.A. est libre en outre d'introduire ou de continuer une poursuite ordinaire, sans avoir préalablement réalisé les gages et sans renoncer pour autant à ceux-ci. 4. GARANTIE 4.1 Etendue de la garantie: Sous réserve de l'article 4.3 ci-après, l'authenticité de toutes les pièces philatéliques vendues aux enchères est garantie pendant 30 jours à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères. Toute garantie de défaut ou autre garantie de quelque nature qu'elle soit est expressément exclue. Toute réclamation concernant l'authenticité doit être transmise à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. dès réception des lots, mais au plus tard dans les 30 jours à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères. Avant la livraison, qui peut intervenir après ce délai de 30 jours, les pièces philatéliques acquises peuvent être examinées auprès de DAVID FELDMAN S.A. L'acheteur dont la réclamation parvient à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. après ce délai de 30 jours à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères perd tout droit à la garantie. Sa réclamation ne sera pas prise en considération par DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Si un délai supplémentaire pour formuler une réclamation liée à l'authenticité d'une pièce philatélique s'avère nécessaire, la demande doit en être faite à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. dans le délai de 30 jours à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères. Aucune demande parvenue après ce délai de 30 jours à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. ne sera prise en considération. Les résultats de l'expertise pour laquelle un délai a été accordé doivent parvenir à DAVID FELDMAN S.A. dans les trois mois à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères. Un délai supplémentaire ne peut être accordé qu'avec l'accord écrit de DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Seules les réclamations, résultats d'expertise ou autres notifications parvenus dans les délais seront pris en considération par DAVID FELDMAN S.A. 4.2 Expertise ou contre-expertise: Lorsque l'authenticité d'un lot est contestée l'acheteur est tenu de produire un certificat d'expertise ou de contre-expertise émanant d'un expert qualifié justifiant sa réclamation. Si l'expert reconnu, assumant toute responsabilité en cas d'erreur, juge que le timbre a été falsifié, il peut le marquer en conséquence; les signes "FAUX" ou "FALSIFIE" ne constituent pas alors une altération du lot. En présence d'une telle réclamation la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. se réserve le droit de demander selon la libre appréciation une ou plusieurs expertises subséquentes dont les frais seront mis à charge du vendeur dans l'hypothèse où la réclamation de l'acheteur est fondée. Dans le cas contraire l'acheteur supportera tous les frais d'expertise encourus. Lorsque la réclamation est fondée, le lot est repris et le prix d'adjudication ainsi que la commission sont intégralement remboursés à l'acheteur. Dans le cas d'un paiement retardé dû à une expertise agréée par David Feldman S.A., des intérêts sont payables à 50% du taux habituel pour tout lot dont l'authenticité est confirmée. Si David Feldman S.A. n'est pas d'accord tous les intérêts seront dus. 4.3 Limites de la garantie: Les lots décrits comme collections, sélections ou groupes, ceux formés de doubles et d'accumulations, ne peuvent faire l'objet d'une réclamation quelconque. Les réclamations concernant les lots décrits comme série ou groupes de séries contenant plus d'un timbre, ne sont prises en considération dans les limites de l'article 4.1 ci-dessus que si elles portent sur plus d'un tiers de la valeur totale d'acquisition du lot. Les lots qui ont été examinés par l'acheteur ou son agent, ainsi que les lots qui sont décrits comme ayant des défauts ne peuvent faire l'objet d'aucune réclamation par rapport à ceux ci. Tout lot illustré ne peut faire l'objet d'aucune réclamation au sujet de la perforation, du centrage, des marges ou tout autre élément visible dans l'illustration. 4.4 Paiement tardif: Si le paiement du prix d'achat et de la commission due par l'acheteur n'intervient pas dans les 30 jours à compter de la date de la vente aux enchères, la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. se réserve le droit d'annuler la vente et de disposer les paiements en souffrance d’au moins 5% dès le premier mois et 2% par mois supplémentaire. De plus, les dépenses encourues seront perçues sur toutes les sommes dues par l’acheteur 30 jours après la date de la vente aux enchères. Le débiteur défaillant perd en outre tout droit de réclamation. 4.5 Le prix d'adjudication pourra, exceptionellement, être ramené à la mise gagnante la plus basse s'il est établi qu'un enchérisseur a augmenté le prix par inadvertance en utilisant plus d'un moyen de miser. 5. DROIT APPLICABLE ET FOR COMPETENT La présente vente aux enchères ainsi que tous les rapports juridiques qui en découlent seront soumis au Droit suisse exclusivement. Toute action légale ou procédure concernant la vente aux enchères ainsi que les rapports juridiques qui en découlent seront soumis à la juridiction exclusive des tribunaux de Genève, sous réserve d'appel au Tribunal fédéral suisse à Lausanne. Dans tous les cas, la Maison DAVID FELDMAN S.A. se réserve le droit de poursuivre tout acheteur défaillant à son lieu de résidence, auquel cas le Droit Suisse reste applicable et dans les cas se rapportant à la valeur, l'euro est converti à son équivalent en francs suisses pendant la vente. 6. Toute transaction: Ces conditions sont applicables à toute transaction même en dehors des ventes aux enchères, avec David Feldman SA. e/07/2008

In these cases, the vendor is treated as a buyer and the auctioneer shall bid on his behalf up to reserve prices. If the reserve price fixed by the vendor is not reached the auctioneer passes to the next lot by a simple knock of the hammer. 2.3 Bid orders received by DAVID FELDMAN S.A. or on its website before the relative auctions have priority over room bids in the case of Live Room auctions.

DAVID FELDMAN S.A. cannot be held responsible for any physical accident that may occur on the premises where auctions take place. 3.3 Bidders' representatives and auction agents: Any person bidding for the account of a third party is fully liable for any obligation arising from such bidding. This responsibility is notably applicable for the verification of the condition and for the payment of bought lots 3.4 Adjudication: Each lot is sold on behalf of the respective owner to the highest bidder who becomes the buyer at the next highest bid step, which is the adjudication price. In addition to the adjudication price, the buyer pays an all-in fee of 19.5% to cover commission, charges and expenses including lotting fees, adjudication taxes, insurance, packing, mailing, export formalities etc. whether all incurred in particular cases or not. On the adjudication, liability for the lots passes to the bidder whose bids have been accepted. The lots are delivered to the buyer when the sale price (adjudication price plus all fees) have been paid in full Exceptionally lots marked "#" at the end of the description are heavy in weight and mailing expenses, charged at cost, are extra. Buyers who give special mailing instructions are responsible for their own mailing costs. VAT (Sales Tax) - Notes for guidance concerning auctions for which the lots are located in Switzerland: Buyers domiciled abroad are not liable for this tax once the goods are duly exported from Switzerland. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. are pleased to arrange this export; alternatively, clients may make their own arrangements and furnish DAVID FELDMAN S.A. with proof of export, stamped by Swiss customs. Any purchases by buyers who wish to keep their purchases in Switzerland will be liable to VAT at 7.6% of the purchase price in Swiss Francs at the converted Euro value during the auction. 3.5 Payment: Sale price plus commission are due for immediate payment as invoiced against delivery of the lots.

The bidders who are successful with whom it has been expressly agreed that they pay after the sale under special conditions, are due to pay the sale price and the commission according to those terms. In these cases, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. keeps the adjudicated

lots which are delivered to the buyers on full settlement of their account. Delivery of the purchased lots by post or any other means if instructed by the buyer including cost of normal transit insurance cover is at the expense of the buyer. Title or ownership of the purchased lots, delivered or not, remains with the auctioneer on behalf of the seller until payment has been made in full. 3.6 Special extended payment facility: DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may offer a special extended payment facility for buyers. In these cases, the buyer may choose to pay a minimum of 25% of the total invoice immediately, and the balance over a maximum period of 6 months, paying an equal instalment at the end of each month. Interest plus charges of 1% is debited to the buyer's account at the end of each month from the auction date. When the special extended payment facility has been granted, the buyer understands that any claims regarding his purchases must be made within 30 days of the auction sale date, even though the lots may be held by DAVID FELDMAN S.A. awaiting full settlement of the account. Until delivery, all lots may be examined by their respective buyers at the offices of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. 3.7 Pledge: Until full settlement of the account, the buyer grants to DAVID FELDMAN S.A. a pledge on any and all properties held by DAVID FELDMAN S.A., acquired prior to, during and/or after any auction. This pledge secures the repayment of any amount due in principals, interests, commissions, costs and other possible fees. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. is entitled, but not obliged, to realise freely the pledge assets without further formalities and without previous notice if the buyer is in default with the payment of his debts or with the fulfilment of any other obligation hereunder. For this purpose, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. is not bound to comply with the formalities of the Federal Law dealing with actions for debt and bankruptcy proceedings; in addition, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may choose to institute or go on with the usual proceedings without having beforehand sold the pledged goods and without having moreover given them up. 4. GUARANTEE 4.1 Extent of the guarantee: Subject to paragraph 4.3 below, the authenticity of all philatelic items sold in the auction is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the auction date, with the express exclusion of any other fault(s). Any reclamation regarding authenticity must come to the notice of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. on the delivery of the lots but at the latest within 30 days from that date. Before delivery, which may take place after the 30 days period, the lots purchased may be examined at the Geneva offices of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. The buyer whose reclamation is made after 30 days from the auction date loses all rights to the guarantee. Such reclamation will not be valid by DAVID FELDMAN S.A.. If an extension of the period is required in order to substantiate the claim with an expertise, a request for such extension must be made to DAVID FELDMAN S.A. within 30 days of the auction date. No request for extension will be considered beyond this 30 days period. The results of the expertise for which an extension was agreed must come to the notice of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. within 3 months of the auction date. No further extension of the period will be considered without the express agreement in writing of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Only claims, expertise results or other details which are made within the agreed periods will be valid. 4.2 Expertise and counter-expertise: Should the authenticity of a lot be questioned, the buyer is obliged to provide an expertise or counter-expertise from a prominent expert in the field, justifying the claim. If a stamp is found by a recognised expert taking financial responsibility for errors to have been forged, he may mark it accordingly. Consequently, the marking "FALSCH" (forged) is not considered an alteration. In the case of such reclamation, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to request, at its own discretion, one or more further expertises. All expertise and relative charges accrue to the vendor's account in the case of a justified claim, or to the buyer's account if the claim is not justified. In the case of a justified claim, the lot is taken back and the adjudication price plus the commission are refunded to the buyer. In the case of delayed payment due to expertise agreed by David Feldman S.A., interest is charged at 50% the standard rate for all cleared lots. If David Feldman S.A. has not agreed then full interest is due. 4.3 Exclusions: Lots described as collections, accumulations, selections, groups and those containing duplicates, cannot be the subject of any claim.
