Hello again. Ceylon tonight. I was hoping to have a busy stamp weekend, and so far Saturday has nearly disappeared on me and only now am I getting round to looking at these stamps late in the evening. Lots of variety to look at in the GV and GVI I have here with me.

If you collect Ceylon Edward VII, GV or GVI and have some gaps in your collection, then give me a few weeks and check out my bidStart store as I will be listing them.  Nice quality I might add.

The above is a MVLH ( Mint Very Light Hinge - in fact I only saw the faintest hinge trace when looking under my spotlight and I would make a guess that 9 times out of ten this would be sold on many sites as MUH (Mint Unhinged)

It is SG 394d.   With perf 11 x 11½   There are 6 perforation varieties I am aware of.  Anyway this copy is catalogued at £6 in my 2013  SG Commonwealth and British Empire catalogue. Always worth checking these carefully. Had this had the watermark variety, missing A in CA,  it would have had a catalogue value of £1400.   I have some more to check.  Like winning the lottery  but more fun to play.

Enjoy your stamps, and don't be shy, Have a look at my bidStart sales, Fill a few gaps in your collection at very competitive prices. All orders  of  10 stamps or more,  of any value,  this month will get a philatelic present from me. It is my birthday month and I want to share that with you.
