British Commonwealth: KGVI and QEII

Generally mint collection of at least 4000 stamps by country from Aden to Zanzibar in four 'Utile' albums. The later sets, about from UPU onwards, have been mounted with an unfortunate kind of hinge affecting some stamps more than others with stains (none of which are included in our estimate, though some appear perfect from front - see for example the final online photo). The earlier issues however are very high quality, virtually everything in complete sets with much mounted on selvage only including high values. Cleanly hinged highlights include first George VI sets of Antigua (top five values MNH), Ascension to 10/- incl. 1½d Davit flaw (SG.40ba cat. £200), Bahamas to £1, Basutoland (top value MNH), Bermuda perf 14 to £1 (less 12/6d) with 2/- and 2/6d MNH, British Honduras (top two values MNH), Cyprus to £1, Cyrenaica 1950 set, Falklands to £1, Fiji (top two values MNH), Gibraltar to £1, Hong Kong to $10, Malaysian States Sultans to $5, Malta sets to 10/-, Sarawak 1950 set MNH, Swaziland (top two values MNH), etc, etc. Lots more here to see, a recommended viewing.
