As written up in the Encyclopedia Britannica, this book is an invaluable help to collectors of classic Greek postage stamps. Said to enable the collector to easily identify fakes and forgeries. The genuine stamps, as well as known counterfeits, are shown in large halftone illustrations at 10 times their actual size. All characteristic differences are clearly numbered and annotated.
Although published in German, the clear cut illustrations are pretty much self-explanatory. Copyright 1936.
Very gently used, unmarked, with few very minor faults. Exceptional condition for items that are over 80 years old.
