Re: 1940 centenary 2 1/2d sg 483
Hi Owen, designers regularly visited exhibitions and signed around the margins of sheets for sale to collectors. I too have a corner block of the Festival issue signed by Dulac and a matching block signed by Abram Games. I also hold several other signed items from the George 6th era. I have not seen...

Re: 1948 Olympic games 6d sg 497 HLP and retouch

5/- Arms with double 'T' guide
I recently bought a stockbook filled with mint & used King George 5th & 6th stamps including several hundred used Arms High Values - an issue I'm very interested in. Studying the 5/- red Arms stamps, I have found a used copy with a double 'T' guide that I have not seen before or found listed...

1937 Coronation Pre-release covers/cards
I've just read Robin Restall's very interesting & informative article on the 1937 Coronation stamp - Pre-release Cancellations in the GBPS Newsletter 348 and thought that I would share a couple of items from my collection. The first is an unaddressed cover with the 1937 Coronation stamp postmark...
