A collection of FRANCE 1849/1966 primarily fine used (2 springback albums) - R40 000+ low start @ 5%

A fine clean collection of France - primarily fine used including a number of the high value stamps.

1849 - 1966

A few pages from the 1st album shown here.

Saturday evening and I have looked up the values of some of the stamps shown on the pages below:  value exceeds R32000

On the basis of above I estimate total value to be around R40000 at least - I have also changed the reserve to R2000 - still very low start at just 5% of value

Postage will be R40 anywhere in SA
