STAMP CATALOGUE INDEX
A large, continuously developed digital
philatelic reference library, originally distributed on CD-ROM
and now supplied as downloadable HTML archives.
I decided in 1999 to create my own stamp
catalogue with pictures of all the stamps from 1840 to 1920 and
add information that is usually not available in classical
catalogues (such as information about forgeries, locals, cancels,
fiscal stamps etc.). Now I would like to share this information
with you. Only a few images are shown on the web (about 1 in 10).
Volume 1 contains United Kingdom, France,
Germany, USA with all areas and colonies
Volume 2 contains: Austria, Benelux, Eastern
Europe, Italy, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, South
America with all areas, colonies etc.
Why two volumes? This is actually on
historical grounds, since initially these volumes were contained
on two cd's, but nowadays they are in two ZIP files (I don't use
cd's anymore).
What to expect, examples:
- how to
identify forged Victorian stamps

A specialist reference source for difficult
aspects of classic philately that aren't adequately covered by
the major catalogues.
