AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

See photos

Catalog value: €12,315 (OBP 2024)

Beautiful and exceptional collection with:
Congo: OBP 1/301 mainly unused, mint indicated with xx, including among others the 5 and 10 Fr King Leopold II, Mols, handstamp (approved), and mint message blocks.
Rwanda-Urundi: OBP 1/230 features various better stamps such as Tombeur overprints and the Message blocks.

Of course, as is often the case in this area, the usual tropical gum is present (indicated in more expensive series where the problem lies), but this is inherent to these regions due to the tropical climate, which is not ideal for stamps.

Tombeur overprints are not inspected but include only a limited catalog value overall and appear to be correct.
