This is the electronic/fax/internet version of our normal paper catalogue. Some changes have been effected so as to save file space and transfer/download time. Most illustrations and logos for example have been removed. Although it is not in the easiest form to read, hopefully it will still bring you the information you need. 

The figure at the end of each description is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above or below this figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only have a tiny chance of success. Estimates are in Pounds Sterling do not include the 10% buyer's premium.

After the main listings you will find various information and instructions. This is followed by a sample bid form, and a copy of the the notes that appear on the reverse of our bid forms.

This is a public auction, in which written/telephone/fax/e-mail bids are also accepted. If you are bidding with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods with the same bids (e.g. by post and by phone, or by telephone and by e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in touch with you with any queries.

                        Estimates; Please note that we have only included presale price estimates in the sections which are within our normal field of specialisation. In sections such as the china and pictures we give descriptions only. Any customers seeking guidance can approach us for our current feelings. Starting prices will be disclosed at any time, but top bids will never be disclosed. There are no reserves.
                        A final list of starting prices will be published on the day of the auction and will be displayed at the viewing. A list will also appear on our website (follow link from sale introductions at www.stamp-shop.com/scouts2005.html).
                        Clearly, some customers may well enter bids at just a few pounds on lots that end up selling for hundreds, and we hope that no one will feel any embarrassment through this.
                        We are not in the habit of selling unsold lots after the auction has finished. {1} We have very few unsold lots anyway. {2} Any unsolds will probably appear again in a future sale.
                        Illustrations; Many of the three-dimensional items in this auction have been photographed, and these images (marked : in the catalogue) can be seen at www.stamp-shop.com/images.html. These will be available from about one week before the auction.
                        Viewing at Venue; We hope to have most of the more fragile lots out on open view. Note that we plan to make some restriction to the handling of these lots. Details to be finalised.

           Stamps
      Ü     Throughout the stamp sections, stamps and miniature sheets are generally in fine condition,
               decently mounted using hinges. Covers and cards however are normally mounted using
               adhesive tape (“sellotape”) on the reverse in the manner of a large stamp hinge; this will
               almost certainly leave at least a mark when removed. Non-stamp items (badges etc.) are
