Public Auction Sale Number 7 - Wednesday 12th June 2019 It is with great pleasure that I present our summer public auction to be held, for the first time, in the Gallery of our St. George's St. Mayfair offices. Space is relatively limited (at least by comparison with the cavernous Lingfild Park) but hopefully as many of you as possible will come along. We can promise you a full and exciting day with myself conducting affairs from the rostrum, Sadie to boss you (and us) around and Rick to provide a little glamour from the sidelines. As with our sale last June, we will have live bidding available, still something of a novelty for us but we will hope to have the sale done and dusted by 6.00. 1000 lots are going under the hammer and whilst we will be offering little in the way of boxes and accumulations (these you wil find in abundance in our Autumn Lingfield Park sale), some fine collections, a strong GB section and superb Commonwealth provide the focus here. Some powerful Comonwealth collections are followed by a lovely range of mint country ranges, in particular Australian states, New Zealand and Malaysia, with fine collections of Thailand and (unusually) Ethiopia, plus a box of China also feature. Some GB highlights include strong 1d blacks (noted pl 1a with inverted wmk, very scarce from this plate), mint surface printed with SG 62 Small Garter (the better deep carmine shade), 64 Medium Garter, 5/- plate 2 and an Imprimatur from the scarce unissued 1/- purple, also fine cds high values. A superb Ed VII section boasts u/m shades and high values, blks and multiples (including 2 panes of 20 1911 9d and blks of 4 from both 1911 5/- shades plus superb cds blk of 4 10/-), the striking 3d Colour Trial etc. Also strong Seahorses (the u/m blk of 4 2/6d Cinnamon being a major rarity), a 2 1/2d PUC inverted, QE2 missing colours and mis-perfs, scarce Officials SG O19 and 52 etc. Most Commonwealth countries are well represented with especially good sections of Cayman Islands, North Borneo and New Guinea, a plethora of 'red pounds' and high values, a Falklands Centenary set, Malta 10/- SG 96, the very scarce ex DLR archive Virgin islands 1883 Colour Trials, New Zealand SG 819a Railway Centenary 1/9d missing red (few known) etc. Not forgetting on the back cover, the 1922 KUT ÂŁ25 with other high values on piece, truly spectacular! As the 'B' word continues to rumble on (and prove to be more complicated than the Schleswig-Holstein question), the stamp world continues to thrive. As I write these words, during an Easter weekend of glorious weather, our second postal auction is well under way and looks like mirroring the success of our first offering, back in January. Credit to Mr. Warren for this and for all the hard yards put in by the indomitable Sadie. Please note the viewing arrangements for this auction and remember that we are constantly on the look out for fresh material for our sales!

We can ring you, if you can't make it to the sale, on the day by prior arrangement only. Fee is £5 UK, £10 ROW. Please let us know no later than 48 hours before the sale. Buyer’s Premium. A buyer's premium of 20.00% (inclusive of VAT) will be added to the hammer price of all lots purchased in this sale. Estimated Values. Bids should be made in GBP (British Pounds Sterling) only and in whole pounds. Pence will not be taken into consideration at time of sale and bids below 70% of the estimate may not be entered at all. Estimates are based on realisations from previous sales or at the describer’s discretionary and professional opinion. Reserves are generally at, or close to the lower estimate. Catalogue numbers and values are from Stanley Gibbons (SG) catalogues unless shown otherwise. Values are applicable as of the date of describing so variations are possible. Numbers and values taken from other catalogues normally make reference accordingly (e.g. Michel/Mi, Yvert/Yv, Scott, etc.) and usually show the £Stg/GBPS equivalent of that catalogue value. Quantities and statistics for lots are shown where possible. For logistical reasons bulky lots will be shown with an approximate figure only, often denoted with ‘approx’ or similar. All reasonable care is taken in preparing figures; whilst accuracy is intended and offered in earnest, statistics and values must be understood as those of opinion and not as resolute fact. Mixed lots and collections are 'sold as seen' and are not included in our usual 14 day return policy, therefore, it is highly recommended they are viewed. Certificates. Lots where the item (or main item(s) within lot) has certification mentioned in the description, are offered on the basis of the opinion expressed therein, which, may or may not reflect the views of Mayfair Philatelic Ltd. If extension for certification is required, this must be registered with us when the bid is placed, or by the close of sale at the latest. Extensions requested beyond this point may not be granted. Value Added Tax (VAT). All stamps are sold under margin scheme rules, mostly for ‘Global Accounting’. No extra need be added within the EU and no export discount applies outside the EU. For import/export and VAT purposes stamps are treated as pre-owned, therefore, no VAT is added to the overall price nor is it subject to reclaim or discounts. Viewing Arrangements. Lot(s) may be inspected in person at the Mayfair offices, Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th June 2019 between 10am and 4pm.

THE BRITISH PHILATELIC AUCTIONEERS' STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (1985 revision) NOTICE The auctioneers exercise all reasonable care to ensure that all statements as to cancellations, centering, colour, condition, date of issue or of postal marking, gum, margins, paper, perforation, printing, provenance, quality, sheet position, status, usage, watermarks etc in lot descriptions are reliable and accurate and that each item is genuine unless the contrary is indicated. However the statements are not intended to be and are not to be taken to be statements of fact or representations of fact in relation to the lot. They are statements of the opinion of the auctioneers and attention is particularly drawn to clause 5 of the PHILATELIC AUCTIONEERS STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS (1985 REVISION) set out below. Comments and opinions concerning the characteristics mentioned above, which may be found in or on lots as notes, lists, catalogue prices, writing up or any other means of expression, do not constitute part of lot descriptions and are not to be taken as such unless they are made or specifically verified by the auctioneers. Clause 1 a) Each lot is put up subject to any reserve price imposed by the vendor. b) Subject to sub clause a) of this clause, the highest bidder for each lot shall be the purchaser thereof at the fall of the hammer. c) If any dispute arises as to the highest bidder the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to determine the dispute and may put up again and resellthe lot in respect of which the dispute arises. Clause 2 a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer and he shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids. NOTE. Where an agent bids, even on behalf of a disclosed client, the auctioneer nevertheless has the right at his discretion to refuse any such bid. b) The purchaser of each lot shall immediately on its sale if required by the auctioneer give to him the name and address of the purchaser and pay to the auctioneer at his discretion the whole or part of the purchase money. If the purchaser of any lot fails to comply with any such requirement, the auctioneer may put up again and re-sell the lot; if upon such resale a lower price is obtained than was first obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and expense of resale which shall become a debt due from him. c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an undisclosed client such agent shall be personally liable for payment of the purchase money to the auctioneerand for safe delivery of the lots to the said client. Clause 3 a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients and vendors. b) The auctioneer reserves the right before or during a sale to group together lots belonging to the same vendor, to split up and to withdraw any lot or lots at the auctioneer's absolute discretion and without giving any reason in any case (without liability to any potential purchaser). c) The auctioneer acts as agent only and therefore shall not be liable for any default of the purchaser (providing he has not handed over the goods) or vendor. Clause 4 a) Each lot shall be at the purchaser's risk from the fall of the hammer and shall be paid for in full before delivery and taken away at his expense by a purchaser in the United Kingdom within 7 days from the date of sale and by a purchaser overseas within 14 days from the date of sale or such longer time as shall be agreed in writing between the auctioneer and purchaser. b) If any purchaser fails to pay in full for any lot within the time stated in sub clause a) of this clause such lot may at any time thereafter at the auctioneer's discretion be put up for sale by auction again or sold privately. If upon such resale a lower price is obtained than was first obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and expense of resale which shall become a debt due from him. c) Interest shall be payable by the purchaser on any overdue account, the rate to be specified by each individual auction for which Mayfair Philatelic Auctions currently levy a rate of 2% compound per calendar month, for each month or part month overdue following 30 days from the date of sale. Clause 5 a) Each lot is sold as (1) GENUINE unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue or by the auctioneer and (2) correctly described (see also Clause 5f). The date of any certificate forming part of the description of any lot may be included in the description. b) A purchaser shall be at liberty to reject any lot if he (i) gives the auctioneer written notice of intention to question the genuineness or, as the case may be, the accuracy of the description of the lot within 7 days (or in the case of any overseas purchaser to be in the auctioneer's hands within 10 days) from the date of sale AND (ii) proves that the lot is not genuine or was incorrectly described; AND (iii) returns to the auctioneer within 30 days from the date of sale, the lot in the same condition as it was at the time of sale; provided that the auctioneer may, at his absolute discretion, on receiving a request in writing from the purchaser, extend for a reasonable period the time for the return of the lot, to enable it to be submitted to an agreed expert or expert committee. NOTE: The onus of proving a lot to be not genuine, or incorrectly described, is on the purchaser. The inability of a recognized expert or expert committee to express a definite opinion shall serve to discharge the onus on the purchaser and shall be a ground for rejecting the lot concerned. c) Where a lot has been submitted for expert opinion, all costs of such an opinion shall be paid by the person who retained the item or items to which that opinion relates. d) Where the purchaser of a lot discharges the onus and acts in accordance with sub clause (b) of this clause, the auctioneer shall rescind the sale and repay to the purchaser the purchase money paid by him in respect of the lot. e) No lot shall be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in water, marked by an expert or expert committee, or treated by any other process, unless the auctioneer's permission to subject the lot to such immersion, marking or treatment, has first been obtained in writing. (Note. Many Continental experts now mark forged stamps; therefore it is essential for permission to be obtained from auctioneers BEFORE submitting to these experts.) f) If any lot listed under 'collections or various' or stated to comprise or contain a collection, issues, or stamps which are undescribed shall be put up for sale, not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults, lack of genuineness and errors of description and numbers of stamps in the lot and the purchaser shall have no right to reject the lot; except that, notwithstanding the provisions of this sub clause, where before a sale a person intending to bid at the sale gives notice in writing to, and satisfies the auctioneer that any such lot contains any item or items not described in the sale catalogue, and that person specifically describes that item or those items shall, as between the auctioneer and that person, be taken to form part of the description of the lot for the purposes of sub clauses (a), (b) and (d) of this clause. g) No lot illustrated in the catalogue shall be rejected on the ground of centering, cancellation, margins, perforation or other characteristics clearly apparent from the illustration. h) Lots offered 'as is' or 'offered on their merits' may contain items that are not genuine and, therefore, may not be returned for any reason. Neither can extensions be granted on them. Clause 6 The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed and interpreted by English Law and the buyer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
