hello from an Englishman in Germany

    Zitat

    When I read your post, I heard alarm bells ringing, did I get it right?

    No... early black maltese exist from May dates 1840, but very rare and you need covers or a large portion on paper. Official black ink trials are from London August 1840. My earliest piece is Nov. 1840, but only London- so a normal piece.... what a pitty!

    asmodeus that is a nice maltese Cross in your posting, thanks for sharing.

    Cheers, William.

    Hi Guys,

    I have had a very bad internet connection, which has meant it has
    been impossible to post images, as I lose my net connection after
    a minute or two.

    As soon as my connection allows, I will be posting again.

    Cheers, William.
