FALKLAND ISLANDS KGVI
Hugh Osborne gave a static display on view over twelve frames at the Royal Philatelic Society of London for the month of June 2017. It comprised of two sections, firstly five frames of the issued stamps of the reign followed by seven frames of postal history. This is the presentation of the issued stamps.
The Falkland definitive issue, on sale at Stanley 3 January 1938, Fox Bay (15 January 1938) and Grytviken (30 March 1938) post offices was an icon of the pictorial stamp era. Relatively, numbers are small - there were just 25 sheets, each of 60 stamps of the first, of four printings, of the £1 value. For this display the numbers are further reduced since only one stamp per sheet could have on its attached margins the stamped sheet number, a key feature of the display.
Thanks to Hugh for allowing us to view this display, one of the finest collection of sheet numbers ever assembled.
BIRDS ISSUE
Hugh Osborne gave a superb presentation and display of the Falkland Islands Birds issue at the 2017 Study Group weekend. The presentation is available here.
