AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional and comprehensive study-and-specialization lot consisting of 157 stamps from the Italian Colonies, with nearly full focus on Libya (Kingdom period).
The collection stands out for its excellent variety of issues, ranging from the first early-20th-century overprints to the sought-after commemorative issues of the 1930s and World War II.
Notable is the presence of mint (MNH/MH) specimens, which significantly elevate the overall qualitative value.
THE KEY PIECES AND INCLUDED SERIES
- Painter series "Colonial Subjects"
- Excellent selection of the famous artistic series (Galea, Warrior, Lookout), including the high perforations and the values in Lire (1L, 1.25L, 2L, 5L, 10L) both ordinary and overprinted
- Hitler-Mussolini emission (1941): Series "Two Peoples, One War" with the profiles of the two dictators side by side, present in blocks with the overprint "LIBYA"
- Tripoli Trade Fairs: Rich section dedicated to the various editions of the colonial fairs (1934, 1935, 1938), complete with splendid air-mail values
- Bimillenary of Augustus (1938)
- Commemorative series focused on classical Roman iconography with colonial overprint
- Special Services and Postage D stamps (Segnatasse)
- Rare values for the Libya Commission Service (30c, 60c, 90c), paired with a nice selection of Colonial Express stamps and numeral cancels
- Postal Packages: Notable assortment of over 20 cut pieces and two-section pairs with Libya-specific overprint
CONDITION: The lot presents in excellent overall preservation. The stamps are a mix of mint with original gum (MNH), mint hinged (MH), and used with uncleared cancellations. All stamps are carefully organized and protected in collectible pockets. Please study the high-resolution images carefully to verify perforations, centering, and gum condition.
Fast, secure, and fully trackable shipping.
I don't combine shippings
Following a recent change in international sector regulations, specifically Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Postal Convention, starting from January 1, 2026, it will no longer be possible to send items (goods with or without commercial value) using International Registered and International Insured services, which will continue to be used exclusively for sending documents.
It means that starting from January 1st, 2026, I will ship abroad only by "POSTE DELIVERY INTERNATIONAL STANDARD" starting from €25.80 without insurance.
