Getting bored or having trouble of filling those
spaces in your Windsor album? Well here is an idea for a new area to collect - GB stamps
used abroad.
From the mid 19th century, before Commonwealth countries had their
own stamps printed with their countries name on them, stamps of Great Britain printed
here in England were sent to the "colonies" to be used for postage, and each
country had it's own hand stamps. Eg A25 for Malta, A26 for Gibraltar.

of the examples above to see more from this nice collection we are selling.
