stamps that are know…
- Derrick Dawson writes about "Tibetan Souvenirs" which
has been presented by Tibetan Authorities to high-ranking visitors. The
interesting story of particular these Souvenirs is that both sheets contain

other stamps a 1912 issue, 1/6 Tr. shiny cobalt blue shade and a 1933 issue
1/2 tr. bistre shade.

covers.

published in Postal Himal. In Postal Himal No. 97 a article called "A
Borderline Cover" and two very detailed and interesting responses where
received. Note: I try to publish the article in question along the responses
here on the Web Site so other collectors can express their opinion on the
cover as well.
- Finally, Julie Marshall wrote a "Report of Australia
99", about Nepal and Tibet exhibits at Australia's second FIP World exhibition
