All our stamps are compared with current catalogues and other printed and online resources. They are identified and labelled carefully. However many issues from eastern Asia are difficult to identify precisely, even with years of experience. In addition there are a significant number of excellent forgeries on the market for many of the scarcest and most valuable stamps. Some stamps are difficult to identify precisely. In these cases, the stamps will be labelled accordingly in the listings.

Every attempt is made to ensure the colour of the image on the site matches the colour of the stamp for sale. However monitors are notorious for not displaying colours consistently. What may look like a perfect match on one screen may be significantly different on another. These discrepancies may cause some collectors to misunderstand what stamp is being offered. It is not our intention to deceive anyone. Please put more emphasis on the description than on the colour when identifying stamps on the site. If you are not happy with what you have bought for any reason, you can return it for full refund, less any shipping and handling charges.

As far as possible, stamps are identified by Scott catalogue number. Stamps from the People's Republic of China are also identified by identification put on the stamps when they are printed.
