Just like to say how much I have enjoyed the site. Getting around to looking at the community postings and comments. Have had some good help from respondents very helpful. Thanks to all.
Got my first bill from Delcampe and was wondering if I was expected to pay this every month or when the amount reached 10 Euros?
I am also looking for a little help. I am having problems identifying the differn shades of colours like yel brn, red org, or brn vio. Is there a colour booklet available to help me out? Where would I obtain one?

I thank you all again for your help.
Regards Kees

hi kees,
my suggestion for collectors of the british colonies is to use the stanley gibbons color guide. it is the most accurate for these issues. but remember, age, paper, and other conditions also have adverse effects on an inks color. here are some helpful links:
