CATALOGUE NUMBERS : The catalog ue numbers of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediately following the descriptions , but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .. CATALOGUE VALUES : The final column shows the catalogue value of the lot. This is shown in parentheses where, in the opinion of the auctioneers, the market value exceeds this figure. ESTIMATED VALUES : II an estimated cash value is given, it is shown in the description and always indicated by the abbreviations " Est. Cash Val." It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little iiolation to the catalogue price. It represents the auctioneer's appraisal of the true MARKET value of a lot and irto figure is invariab ly close to the actual realization. It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only w.,ewt-.oroportionof such estimates. vED \ CUES USED IN LISTING : Scott Vol. 1, & U.S. Specialized (1988) noteas the as noted in the descriptions

TO OUR CLI ENTS

Harmers continues to use the 1988 Scott catalogues in the producti on of i ts auction catalogues as we feel they more realistically reflect market conditions.

We will continue to use foreign catalogues in specific areas

IMPORTANT

Remember, NO lots may be returned with back stamps stating Fake, Falsch , or similar markings. Recently there has been a spate of German expertisers marking the backs of stamps. It is your responsibility as the purchaser not to let this happen .
