S.G. #Z4/64

Mauritius used in Seychelles extensive collection/accumulation, a most impressive group of approximately 120+ singles (plus a few pairs) all with identifiable barred "B64" numeral cancels of Seychelles, almost all identified by their separate S.G. numbers, with an exceptional range of issues and values, with generally modest duplication, includes many stamps with individual catalog values ranging from £40 to £1,400 (S.G. #Z4, small faults), small faults as expected on many, but quite a number are choice and sound as well; seldom does one see just a few examples of these scarce cancellations, let alone in such an extensive offering; also includes a scarce Sperati forgery of the Mauritius 1879-80 38c with a "B64" cancel.
