Since 1980 I have been a Professional Stamp Dealer .  originally from South Africa I opened the Stanley Gibbons office in Johannesburg, South Africa and ran their office successfully before buying out the South African interest in 1986.  I then relocated to Tucson, Arizona, USA in 1997 and traded as a British Commonwealth Postal History Dealer until I moved to the United Kingdom in 2005.

I specialise in British Commonwealth Pre-1930 Postal History, Shipwreck Covers, Train Crash Mail and Unusual Postal Incidents.  Having lived in South Africa for some 28 years, Southern Africa is an area of special interest to me, in particular, The Boer War.

I am always interested in buying better British Commonwealth Postal History individual items or collections and will be happy to give an assessment to any material brought to me or call me for advice.
