PRINZ SYSTEM
PAGES
(commonly known as "HAGNER PAGES"/"HAGNER SHEETS")
These are black board pages with clear strips on either on
or both sides. The pages are very roughly A4 size, and fit
standard four-ring fittings.
Each side is divided into strips, any number from one to
eight (plus one type with three strips of unequal size)
Reference "1" (reference "11" for double-sided) has 1
strip, 245mm deep.
Ref 2 or 22, 2 strips 122mm deep
Ref 3 or 33, 3 strips 80mm deep
Ref 4 or 44, 4 strips 60mm deep
Ref 5 or 55, 5 strips 47mm deep
Ref 6 or 66, 6 strips 38mm deep
Ref 7 or 77, 7 strips 32mm deep
Ref 8 or 88, 8 strips 28mm deep
Ref 9 or 99, has one strip each at 40mm, 68mm, 140mm
(narrowest at top)
PRICES; single-sided pages are �5.90 per packet of ten
(though we still have stocks of some sizes at �5.25),
double-sided are �8.70 per packet of ten (though we still
have stocks of some sizes at �7.75). (We also sell split
packets at the same price per page, but we certainly would
not suggest any mail orders for quantities of fewer than
about a dozen.)

JUNIOR
ALBUMS
AND OUTFITS
(Fast-bound)
The majority of collectors probably started
with albums such as these. The albums are with
fixed pages (i.e. not loose leaf), a squared
pattern printed out on the page, and with
country headings at the top. Naturally, the
larger the album, the more space there will be
for each country, although pages are laid out to
fit what is considered to be an average mix and
balance of numbers for a collector in the UK. (A
UK-based collector would expect to have larger
numbers of, and therefore need more space for,
stamps of the UK, Ireland, Western Europe, the
larger Commonwealth countries, and so on. A
collector resident in, say, Argentina, would
probably gather an entirely different mix of
stamps, and would probably find the albums
listed here less useful.

collectors.

ULTRA VIOLET
LAMPS
Most commonly used by collectors in the UK for looking at
phosphors (or the lack of them), there is quite a variety to
choose from.
UV lamps can be dangerous things, and should be taken
seriously. Always follow the instructions, do not look
directly at the light, and do not attempt modifications to
the lamps. Misuse can cause serious eye irritation.
One of the odd things about using ultra violet light
(especially with UK stamps), is that the lamps usually work
best when they are switched off ! That may sound
silly, but indeed it is often the case that while the lamp
is on it is difficult to discern anything of importance.
However, in the moment after the lamp is switched off, an
afterglow can often be seen, and this is very useful.
Phosphor afterglows, but fluorescence does not.
An obvious tip, which many people ignore, is to practice
with your new lamp, using items which can only be one thing.
SHORT WAVE LAMPS (short wave
is best for UK and some foreign phosphors, coatings,
paper variations, some repairs and fakery)
UVS1. Prinz Mini ultra violet lamp (256nm) battery
operated (batteries not supplied). �23.95
LONG WAVE LAMPS (long wave
often more effective for fluorescence, as well as for
some of the phosphors which unlike UK are longwave)
UVL1. Prinz Mini ultra violet lamp (366nm) battery
operated (batteries not supplied). �11.95
SPARE TUBES can be supplied for the
Prinz lamps; Short wave is �17.95, long wave �7.95. It is
not a bad idea just to buy the lamp that you will use
most, and a spare tube for the other version, so that you
have the alternative to hand. Switching tubes is fairly
easy, but if you are doing it often we'd recommend buying
both lamps rather than risk breaking a tue or lamp with
repeated changing.

HAWID MOUNTS

mount will fit - the mounts are actually a little bigger.

SHOWGARD
MOUNTS
These a plastic strips for holding stamps, which can then be
mounted on a page, leaving the stamp unmarked (unmounted).
The back of the strip is either black or clear, the front is
clear. The strips are welded along the upper and lower
edges, and have a horizontal split half way down the back
which allows the insertion of the stamp. The "gard" type of
mount is generally a little trickier to use, and can
obviously only be resized in one dimension (whereas Hawid
etc can be resized in two), but hold the stamp much more
securely, and can even be used sideways on the page.
Sizes available - sizes quoted are the size of stamp the
mount will fit - the mounts are actually a little bigger.
When ordering, please state whether black backround or
clear background are required.
