BELGIUM – 424219

BELGIUM – This is a very comprehensive national selection of some five thousand mint and used issues tracing Belgian postal stamps from the very dawn of philately on one end and then running into Euro period on the opposite terminus presented in a pair of neatly organized stock books: one for regular section and one for back-of-the-book portion! The first book contains an impressive array of individual standouts from the 19^th century period, while the second volume showcases a particularly solid early period semi-postal section packed with premium sets alongside with souvenir and miniature sheets! Even though duplication levels vary throughout, overall, numbers of copies are not overwhelming, and thus the lot would be a great resource for collectors looking to bolster their portfolio all along the century and half long period!
