ETHIOPIA[Stepan Balian was an Armenian who migrated to Ethiopia in 1911. A successful merchant in Harrar and later Dire-Daoua, he had a passion for the stamps of his adopted homeland. He was particularly fond of the numerous surcharges, & acquired a huge quantity of this material, both mint (often in full sheets) and commercially used. Like so many developing countries, Ethiopia had a "colourful" philatelic history and even today is hardly a "popular" country. However, Ethiopian stamps offer collecting and research opportunities at a price point rarely available for more widely collected material. The quality of the Balian accumulation is generally very fine. See also Stepan Balian's incoming picture postcards: Lots XX to XX]

Ex Lot 473

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a strong basis for a fascinating collection. [While we cannot offer any guarantees on this material, the fact it was collected as new issues is strongly in favour of everything being genuine though external evidence shows that many of the "errors" were contrived. Note that numerous items are not included in Michael Rogers comprehensive pricelist] (100s)

Rare, and still unlisted by Gibbons, despite being one of the foremost errors of Norfolk Island. [Collas & Breckon at p64 state "One sheet had the first overprint (silver panel) in the right position, but the '2c' oveprint was omitted from the right-hand vertical row of six stamps." It is important to note that this is a genuine "Omitted Overprint" and not just the result of the overprint being misaligned, such as the great Fiji and New Hebrides errors that Gibbons do list!
