Great Britain Stamps

Welcome.

In this site I have attempted to do something, not hitherto done. A complete pictorial guide to the stamps of Great Britain.

For the QV Jubilee Issues, KEVII and KGV the stamps will be broken down to their specialized number. That means that order for say KEVII ½d will be M1, M2, M3 and M4 etc.

Where possible I have used my own certified material as a reference, however in many instances it will take a lot of searching to find the prime example of a particular stamp. As it is, the images I have represent the best I have found in the last five years.

Every other day a new page will be added, eventualy covering 1840 through to 1936.
