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 different Internet connection speeds around the world.

You must get your final bid through at the moment of the display of the first GOING. 4. Sometimes several Internet bids may be made at the same moment.

The Courvoisier Archive One of the legendary printers of hundreds of stamp and souvenir sheet issues for over 60 countries world-wide, the firm of Courvoisier S.A., located in the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, created a tradition of innovation and the utmost quality in photogravure printing, whether for newspapers or magazines or, as this archive amply demonstrates, for philatelic products. Founded near the time of the French Revolution, the company was built generation upon generation by the Courvoisier family to become one of the world's leading printers. The accompanying letter (next page) clearly demonstrates that this public auction represents the philatelic archive of Courvoisier S.A. IN ITS ENTIRETY and that with the exception of a few similar items that may have been kept by various postal administrations, each item in every lot is UNIQUE. The archive was created by drawing from the company's files of unfinished stamps, imperforate (as issued) and usually with progressive proofs showing each component colour of the final product, as well as (when available) unadopted essays or colour trials. From the sheets in their possesion, ONLY ONE of each item was retained, and it was neatly mounted into a series of uniform blue albums that numbered nearly 100 when they ceased stamp production a few years ago. To see a typical page, see the illustration on page 14. Please bear in mind that though these archival lots look exactly like plate proofs (which in fact they are), the rest of what had been each sheet has been destroyed, and each item in every lot is therefore UNIQUE to the archive. Those who pursue thematic subjects, from Olympics to Birds to Flowers (see index, pages 121), will find much to choose from on offer herein. Collectors of specific countries, too, should check the index (page 120) for their favorites. The number ot items (each UNIQUE to the archive) in each lot is given in parentheses at the end of each description. The estimates for each lot are necessarily wide-spread, but as a whole work out to an attractive price per item. In the absence of higher bids received before the auction, it is intended to start the bidding at the lower estimate. We hope that collectors as well as dealers will take advantage of this opportunity to balance the weight of older archival material (e.g. the famous Perkins, Bacon or De La Rue die proofs) with material from the last 75 years, world-wide We are presenting the lots by region, then in alphabetical order by country. Nearly all lots are illustrated, with more from each lot available on our web site, www.davidfeldman.com - where you can also register and practice bidding live via the internet during the auction.

Klicken Sie die Taste „Bid“ für Ihr Angebot gleich am Anfang der Versteigerung des von Ihnen gewünschten Loses, da es einen Moment dauern kann, den Host anzuschließen, wegen der weltweiten unterschiedlichen Internet-Anschlußgeschwindigkeiten.

Wenn und nur wenn es einen Internet-Bewerber gibt, ist die Anzeige das GOING GOING GONE auf dem Bildschirm, was das Ende des Bietens bestätigt. Sie müssen Ihr abschließendes Angebot im Augenblick der Anzeige des ersten GOING sofort abgeben. 4. Manchmal können mehrere Internet-Angebote im gleichen Moment durchgegeben werden. Der Host nimmt das erste empfangene Angebot an und ignoriert die anderen mit dem gleichen Preis. Dies erklärt, warum Ihr Angebot nicht gezeigt wird. Bitte sofort Ihr neues Angebot eingeben. 5.

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 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 e 100 e 200 e 500 e 1000

e 200 e 500 e 1000 e 2000 e 5000
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 francs suisses. Les offres d'enchères libellées en d'autres monnaies seront converties en francs suisses 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.

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 francs suisses le prix d'achat et la commission contre remise de la marchandise acquise. Le paiement en monnaies étrangères 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 acture 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'octroi 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 du(des) lot(s) concerné(s) et/ou d'agir par toute voie de droit utile contre l'acquéreur afin d'obtenir le paiement des montants dus et/ou d'éventuels dommages-intérêtset/ou le remboursement de tous frais judiciaires. Des frais pour 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.

Lots which have been examined by buyer or his agent, lots described as having defects or faults cannot be subjected to a claim regarding defects or faults.llustrated lots cannot be subjected to a claim because of perforations, centering, margins or other factors shown in the illustrations. 4.4 Late Payment: If the payment of the adjudicated price plus commission due by the buyer is not made within 30 days of the date of the auction, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to cancel the sale and dispose of the lot(s) elsewhere and/or to make a recourse to any legal proceedings in order to obtain payment of the amounts due as well as for any incurred damages and losses and any legal expenses. A charge on overdue payment of at least 5% for the first month and 2% per month afterwards plus expenses incurred is chargeable on any outstanding amount after 30 days of the date of the auction. The buyer who is in default in any way whatsoever has no right of claim under any circumstances. 4.5 Exceptionally, the adjudication price will be reduced to the lowest winning bid where it is shown that a buyer has inadvertently increased the price by using more than one medium of bidding. 5. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION Unless otherwise stated, all auctions as well as any rights and obligations arising from them shall be governed exclusively by Swiss law. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to the auctions shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Geneva, subject to appeal to the Swiss Federal Court in Lausanne.In every case, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. shall also be entitled, at its discretion, to sue any buyer in default at his place of residence; in such case, Swiss law shall remain applicable and in the case of issues regarding price value, the Euro is converted at its Swiss franc value at the time of the auction. 6.

Gebote, die zwischen diesen Stufen liegen, werden der nächst höheren Steigerungsstufe angepasst. Bieter sind bis zur Annahme eines höheren Gebotes an ihr Gebot gebunden. 2.2 Die "huissier judiciaire” oder DAVID FELDMAN S.A. ist ermächtigt, gemäss erfolgten Anweisungen, für Kunden zu bieten. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. ist ebenfalls ermächtigt, gegebenenfalls für Einlieferer zu bieten, sofern diese Reservepreise festgesetzt haben. Einlieferer werden somit als Käufer betrachtet, und der Versteigerer steigert für sie bis zum Betrag der Reservepreise mit. Wird der vom Einlieferer festgesetzte Reservepreis nicht erreicht, geht der Auktionator durch einen einfachen Hammerschlag zum nächsten Los über. 2.3 Vor der Versteigerung bei DFSA oder auf deren Internet Site eingegangene schriftlichen Gebote haben absoluten Vorrang vor Saalgeboten bei einer „Live“ Auktion. Kunden, die der DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Kaufaufträge gegeben haben, können Alternativgebote abgeben und/oder die Auftragssumme im voraus begrenzen. " Buy" ("Zum Kauf") Gebote werden bis zum Zehnfachen des gedruckten Schätzwertes mitgesteigert. Gebote sind in Schweizer Franken abzugeben . Sollten diese jedoch in fremden Währungen erfolgen, so werden die Beträge bei Empfang zum Tageskurs in Schweizer Franken umgerechnet. Gebote haben bis zu mindestens 60 Tagen nach Versteigerungsdatum Gültigkeit. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. behält es sich vor, Bietern Lose bis zum Ablauf dieser Frist in Rechnung zu stellen, wobei sofortige Zahlung fällig ist. 3. DIE VERSTEIGERUNG 3.1 Die „Live“ Auktion erfolgt unter der Mitwirkung einer lokalen Aufsichtsbehörde. Die Aufsichtsperson kann nicht haftbar gemacht werden. Diese Versteigerung erfolgt unter der Mitwirkung des „huissier judiciaire“ (Gerichtsvollstrecker) als gesetzlicher Überwacher von Republik und Kanton Genf. Die Währung dieser Auktion ist Euro. 3.2 Vorrechte der David Feldman S.A.: DAVID FELDMAN S.A. hat das Recht, Lose zurückzuziehen, umzugruppieren, zu trennen oder den Zuschlag zu verweigern. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. behält es sich ebenfalls vor, Kaufaufträge abzulehnen und/oder Personen den Zugang zum Auktionsraum zu verweigern.

Diese Verbindlichkeit betrifft hauptsächlich die Qualitätsprüfung und Bezahlung gekaufter Lose. 3.4 Zuschläge: Jedes Los wird dem Meistbietenden zu Gunsten des Einlieferers, zur nächst höheren Steigerungsstufe zugeschlagen. Zur Zuschlagsumme, welche abhängig von der Auktion ist, wird in jedem Fall ein Aufgeld von 19.5% inklusive Kommission, Unkosten, Taxen, Versicherung, Verpackung, Versand, Ausfuhrformalitäten usw. erhoben. Ausgenommen sind Lose, die am Ende der Beschreibung mit ”#” bezeichnet sind. Für diese werden ausnahmslos wegen des hohen Gewichts die Versandkosten separat nach Aufwand verrechnet. Käufer mit Spezialinstruktionen kommen selbst für die entsprechenden Versandkosten auf. Beim Zuschlag geht das Risiko der ersteigerten Lose auf den Bieter über, dessen Gebote angenommen wurden. Die Lose werden ihm jedoch erst bei voller Begleichung des Kaufpreises und Aufgelds ausgehändigt. MWST (Mehrwertsteuer) - Anmerkung zur Orientierung betreffend Versteigerungen, deren Lose sich in der Schweiz befinden: Käufer, mit Wohnsitz im Ausland sind nicht steuerpflichtig, wenn die Ware ins Ausland exportiert wird.

Sollten unsere Kunden diese Formalitäten selbst erledigen, werden wir vom Schweizer Zoll eine Kopie Ihrer Ausfuhrpapiere erhalten. Falls unsere Kunden wünschen ihre Käufe in der Schweiz zu behalten, wird ihnen MWST von 7,6%, zum zur Zeit der Auktion gültigen Wechselkurs von Euro in CHF umgerechnet, auf den Kaufpreis aufgeschlagen. 3.5 Zahlung: Kaufpreis und Aufgeld sind in Schweizer Franken bei Versteigerungsteilnehmern sofort am Kauftag gegen Aushändigung der Lose fällig. Zahlungen in fremden Währungen werden zum Tageskurs gemäss Abrechnung einer Schweizer Grossbank angenommen.

wurde, haben Kaufpreis und Aufgeld unverzüglich bei Erhalt der Auktionsrechnung zu zahlen. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. hält die ersteigerten Lose bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung des Rechnungsbetrages zurück. Zustellung der Lose durch die Post oder auf einem anderen Weg, sofern vom Käufer gewünscht, sowie Transportversicherungskosten, gehen auf Rechnung des Käufers.Die Lose ob ausgeliefert oder nicht, bleiben bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung Eigentum der DAVID FELDMAN S.A., stellvertredend für den Einlieferer. 3.6 Erweiterte Zahlungsmöglichkeiten: DAVID FELDMAN S.A. ist gegebenenfalls bereit, Käufern erweiterte Zahlungsmöglichkeiten zu gewähren. Der betreffende Käufer zahlt mindestens 25% des Gesamtrechnungsbestrages bei Erhalt der Rechnung und den Saldo in gleichen Monatsraten über maximal 6 Monate. Der dem Käufer am Ende jedes Monats, vom Auktionsdatum, berechnete Zins beträgt 1%. Bei Gewährung erweiterten Zahlungsmöglichkeiten hält DAVID FELDMAN S.A. die ersteigerten Lose gegebenenfalls bis zur vollen Begleichung des Rechnungsbetrages zurück. Es versteht sich, dass der Käufer die Lose bis zur Auslieferung jederzeit bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. besichtigen kann. Reklamationen bezüglich der ersteigerten Lose müssen jedoch innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach dem Versteigerungsdatum eingehen. 3.7 Pfandrecht: Bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung der ausstehenden Schuld bürgt der Kunde gegenüber DAVID FELDMAN S.A. mit seinem durch die DAVID FELDMAN S.A. aufbewahrten Material, welches ihm vor, während und/oder nach dem jeweiligen Verkauf zugesprochen wurde. Dieses Pfand garantiert die Rückzahlung des Forderungsbetrages, der Zinsen, Kommissionen und anderer möglicher Unkosten. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. ist berechtigt, aber nicht verpflichtet, die verpfändete Ware formlos und ohne Vorankündigung zu veräussern, sollte der Kunde in Zahlungsverzug kommen oder seinen sonstigen Verpflichtungen nicht nachkommen. In diesem Falle ist DAVID FELDMAN S.A. nicht verpflichtet, den Vorschriften des Bundesgesetzes über Schuldbetreibung und Konkurs zu folgen. Im übrigen hat DAVID FELDMAN S.A. die Wahl, ein Verfahren einzuleiten oder gegebenenfalls weiterzuführen, ohne die Ware vorher zu verkaufen und ohne sein Anrecht auf das betreffende Material zu verlieren. 4. GARANTIE 4.1 Umfang: Unter Vorbehalt des nachstehenden Paragraphs 4.3. ist die Echtheit aller bei Versteigerungen verkauften philatelistischen Artikel während 30 Tagen nach dem Versteigerungsdatum garantiert. Jegliche andere Garantie oder Garantie für Fehler ist ausdrücklich ausgeschlossen. Jegliche Reklamation bezüglich Echtheit muss unverzüglich nach Erhalt der Lose an DAVID FELDMAN S.A. gerichtet werden, spätestens jedoch innerhalb 30 Tagen nach Versteigerungsdatum. Vor der Zustellung, die nach der 30-Tage-Frist erfolgen kann, können die erstandenden philatelistischen Artikel bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. besichtigt werden. Ein Käufer, dessen Reklamation nach der Frist von 30 Tagen ab Versteigerungsdatum bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. eintrifft, verliert jegliches Anrecht auf die Garantie. In diesem Fall wird die Reklamation von DAVID FELDMAN S.A. nicht anerkannt. Wird im Falle einer Reklamation bezüglich der Echtheit eines philatelistischen Artikels eine Fristverlängerung benötigt, muss diese innerhalb 30 Tagen nach Versteigerungsdatum bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. beantragt werden. Kein solcher Antrag, welcher nach dieser 30-Tage-Frist bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. eintrifft, wird in Betracht gezogen. Die Prüfresultate, für deren Einholung eine Fristverlängerung gewährt wurde, müssen bei DAVID FELDMAN S.A. innerhalb von 3 Monaten nach dem Versteigerungsdatum vorliegen. Eine weitere Fristverlängerung kann nur mit schriftlicher Einwilligung von DAVID FELDMAN S.A. gewährt werden. Nur diejenigen Reklamationen, Prüfresultate sowie andere Mitteilungen, die innerhalb der vorgeschriebenen Fristen eintreffen, werden von DAVID FELDMAN S.A. in Betracht gezogen. 4.2. Atteste und Gegenatteste: Bei Echtheitszweifeln obliegt es dem Käufer, als Rechtfertigung seiner Reklamation ein Attest oder Gegenattest von einem für das betreffende Sammelgebiet anerkannten Prüfer beizulegen. Wird eine Marke von einem anerkannten und für Irrtümer haftenden Prüfer als falsch erkannt, kann er sie entsprechend kennzeichnen. Das Zeichen FALSCH gilt dabei nicht als Veränderung. Bei derartigen Reklamationen behält DAVID FELDMAN S.A. es sich vor, nach eigenem Ermessen ein oder mehrere Atteste anzufordern. Alle Prüfkosten und diesbezügliche Ausgaben fallen bei gerechtfertigter Beanstandung zu Lasten des Einlieferers, anderenfalls jedoch zu Lasten des Käufers. Bei gerechtfertigter Beanstandung wird das Los zurückgenommen und die Zuschlagsumme sowie Aufgeld an den Käufer zurückerstattet. Falls infolge einer Expertise, mit Uebereinstimmung der DAIVD FELDMAN S.A. Zahlungsverzögerungen entstehen, werden 50% der üblicherweise belasteten Zinsen auf jedes Los, dessen Echtheit einwandfrei bewiesen ist erhoben. Ansonsten werden die Standartzinsen berechnet. 4.3 Begrenzung: Lose, die als Sammlungen, Sammellose, Dublettenposten oder Anhäufungen beschrieben sind, haben keinerlei Anrecht auf Reklamation. Beanstandungen von Losen, die als Serien oder Gruppen von Serien aus mehr als einer Briefmarke bestehend beschrieben sind, werden in Grenzen des obigen Punktes 4.1. nur in Betracht gezogen, wenn sie mehr als ein Drittel des Gesamtkaufwerts des entsprechenden Loses darstellen. Für Lose die vom Käufer oder dessen Agenten besichtigt wurden oder mit Fehlern beschrieben sind können deshalb nicht beanstandet werden. Abgebildete Lose können nicht beanstandet werden wenn es sich um Zähnungsfehler, Zentrierung, Rand oder andere im Bild ersichtliche Fehler handelt. 4.4 Zahlungsverzug: Geht die Zahlung der Zuschlagsumme und das Aufgeld nicht innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach Versteigerungsdatum ein, behält DAVID FELDMAN S.A. es sich vor, entweder das Kaufgeschäft aufzuheben und über die Lose anderweitig zu verfügen und/oder auf Zahlung des Kaufpreises und Schadenersatz, sowie auch gesetzliche Abgaben zu klagen. Bei Nichtzahlung ausstehender Beträge innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach Versteigerungsdatum, werden Verzugszinsen von wenigstens 5% im ersten Monat und 2% in den darauffolgenden Monaten erhoben; entstandene Unkosten sind ebenfalls zurückzuerstatten. Der in Verzug geratene Käufer verliert in jedem Fall sein Reklamationsrecht. 4.5 Der Zuschlagspreis kann ausnahmsweise auf das tiefste Gebot vermindert werden, wenn der Bieter versehentlich den Preis, durch eine andere Bietmöglichkeit, erhöht hat. 5. GESETZ UND GERICHTSSTAND Diese Auktion sowie die daraus enstandenen Rechte und Pflichten unterliegen ausschliesslich dem Schweizer Gesetz. Jede sich auf diese Auktion beziehende Klage oder Rechtsstreit unterliegen dem Gericht in Genf. Die zuständige Berufungsbehörde ist das Schweizer Bundesgericht in Lausanne.DAVID FELDMAN S.A. behält es sich ferner vor, den Schuldner nach eigenem Ermessen an seinem Wohnsitz zu verklagen, wobei das Schweizer Gesetz Gültigkeit hat.
