Tanganyika – Mafia Island
The “Tatiana” Collection
Friday, December 8, 2017, at 9:00 CET
Dear collector and client,
Not since the sale of Colonel J.R. Danson in 1971 has there been such an important offer
of these Occupational Provisional stamps of Mafia Island. However, the “Tatiana” offering
is by far the superior collection, and is without doubt the greatest assembly of these
provisional issues.
The inclusion of the major rarities —the Rupee values of the first set, and the same values
for the 6 CENT surcharges— adds a special touch as many of these only exist in very small
numbers and therefore are missing from most major collections.
We are hoping that this catalogue —and the “Tatiana” collection itself— will serve as a
major reference for these stamps for many decades to come. Please note that practically
every item in this catalogue has certificates.
Our company strives for excellence in lotting, presentation and promotion of every
property entrusted to us.
