LIBERATED BANGLA DESH, BANGLADESH Official Surcharges, Liberation Forces, and onwards devolving into used overprinted series, very substantial collection of covers interspersed from time to time by various types/sections mint handstamped issues etc. Noted varieties, multiples, Regions, the whole backed up by copious quantity apparently all different Post Offices with handstamps, duplicated used ranges, stockbook mint handstamp issues, and more, with main focus upon the definitive series. Extensively written up, a significant amount of study has already been invested in the collection, but there is still much more that may be done by research/study extending/taking the collection further forward. Bangladesh appears to have come of age. Whereas some time ago there appeared to be abundance of availability, these days there is little genuine material on the market. Although we have given this a broad 'rounded' description please request images to do justice to the collection, although with so much present images will almost certainly be representative. Certainly the most valuable most extensive collection Bangladesh we have ever witnessed, historically this feels like the start of a journey.

An extraordinary intact Auction Sale notice addressed to the representative Solicitors William Andrews Esquire, Solicitor, Market Harborough printed and dated 3rd March 1841, mailed a week before auction. 1d. Black block of 4 letters G-B, G-C, H-B, H-C, more an intense black shade, well-defined, clear profile H-C, plate 6 multiple bearing defining guidelines H-C, G-C, plus G-B top line N.E. corner weak. Original fold crease runs below G-B, H-B, the multiple has likely been pressed as there is no sign of deeper creasing but rather of paper undulation. Astonishing good to large four margins bearing traces of adjoining impressions E. & S. the multiple we suspect just fractionally touched S.E. corner H-C although this may never be proven due to position of tying black maltese cross. Doubtless a number of these auction notices may have been mailed bearing similar blocks of plate 6 1d. Blacks, but we shall never know for this is surely unique, 'presenting' almost A4 format fitting within most large format stamp albums, but opening out to an extraordinary 4 x size, measuring some 14.5 inches wide (370mm.) x c.22.5 inches deep (465mm.) deep. We suspect that the properties so auctioned may even be identifiable/exist today. Document faults obviously but in extraordinary sound overall condition plus the valuable plate 6 1d. Black multiple catalogued £18,000 OFF piece … which must surely command an at least 25%-50% catalogue value premium upon this unique auction notice which would add charisma to any classic collection.
