Brochure “The Postage Stamps of the Principality of Sealand“

Self-published brochure by Bernhard Luerssen (55 pages), version: March 2021.

The work starts with a short section on Sealand and its history. There follow sections on every stamp issue between and 1969 and 2010. Variants, designs as well as curiosities and puzzles are described and illustrated, mostly with images from the author’s collection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have had reports of problems when paying through PayPal.
In that case please contact me. In the meantime, I'll try and sort out this ebay problem.

Wikipedia: The Principality of Sealand is a micronation that claims HM Fort Roughs, an offshore platform in the North Sea approximately 12 kilometres off the coast of Suffolk, as its territory. Roughs Tower is a Maunsell Sea Fort that was built by the British during World War II. Since 1967, the decommissioned Roughs Tower has been occupied and claimed as a sovereign state by the family and associates of Paddy Roy Bates. Bates seized Roughs Tower from a group of pirate radio broadcasters in 1967 with the intention of setting up his own station there. Sealand was invaded by mercenaries in 1978, but was able to repel the attack.
