Greetings, all.

 

I'm seeking what is now listed, in Scott catalog, as the 25-centimes "Dahomey #8" Nav/Commerce stamp.  This was actually the first Dahomey postal-issue, released in 1899, once called #1, but Scott formed a set of all the Dahomey Nav/Commerce issues (during the 1940s or 50s), so the stamp moved from Dahomey #1 to Dahomey #8.

 

I'm intersed this stamp in any reasonable condition: Mint (hinged) or Cancelled. (Note: even a Fournier Forgery of the stamp would be nice, though for a different reason, and as a separate trade).

 

The Dahomey 25-centime Nav/Commerce stamp is valued at around $5-$10 US, mint or used.  If you have one you'd like trade, I am a 25-year global collector - name your country, and I've got some.  So I can list any "wants" in the same value range.  The larger the country, the more selections I'll have to trade, though I have many smaller --Colonial items as well.

 

Thanks, and I'm at: cb@ClassicBruce.com - just put "Dahomey" in an email's Subject somewhere, and I'll catch it quickly.
