Italy. 1852–2000. Very unusual lot containing expensive collection but sadly with all stamps taken out of the album and now placed (loose but somewhat in periodic order) in a large box. The album with “back of the book” and airmail-issues are still intact and very well build. A brief look at the thousands of loose stamps proves many better stamps and complete sets - often more than one of each. Also many early States and many better Colonies are seen, a few stamps with certs, very fine section Triest (mounted on stockcards) etc. etc. Please (very) carefully inspect!! [ ** * ⊙ ✉ ]
