Sale number: S25006 The Hay Morgan collection of King George V, assembled over 40 years by a British collector, is among the most comprehensive of its kind, featuring major errors, rare covers, proofs, and plate number examples. Following the success of Part I, Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s presents Part 2, highlighting Newfoundland’s airmail issues, including the 1919 ‘Hawker’ and 1927 ‘De Pinedo’ on flown cover, along with key rarities from the Bahamas, Canada, Ceylon, the Falkland Islands, Kenya, North Borneo, and Rhodesia. Expertly examined and described, these stamps represent a collection of exceptional quality. Meanwhile, the collector, a long-standing member of the Royal Philatelic Society of London, continues his passion with a focus on ‘G.R.I.’ overprints, Indian Feudatory States, and Nevis.
