Turkey collection, 1863-1922, fabulous collection of issues of the Ottoman Empire only on neatly annotated handmade pages filling one 2" binder. Very nearly complete for the period including the 1911 Sultan’s Visit overprints complete mint (couple used), the 1914 200pi Mohammed V used, 1915-16 Crescent overprints virtually complete, the 1916 "Scarab" overprints lacking only three stamps (448, 514A & 525A), and a Fine used example of J27 (Scott $450); additionally, many of the early cancellations are identified by town. The overprints, while they appear genuine, are not guaranteed and are offered "as is". Nevertheless, quite an outstanding collection.
