Danish West Indies

Interesting study lot with six examples of the first Coat of Arms design, a faulty copy of #12 (the 14c, catalogues $1050). There are 8 forged stamps of the "Numeral" issue, and five c.1865 Great Britain issues with "C51" cancels indicating use on the islands (these stamps catalogue $730.00 with regular cancels). The lot concludes with 16 cut-out pieces for use by the "Bank of the Danish West Indies" with American stamps on "FDR" album pages with the distinctive "Harmers" handstamp, a number of the pieces are similarly marked.
