Overland Mail Baghdad-Haifa Pages
Unrecorded items, Ex Norman Collins Archive
In the paper archive of the late Norman
Collins which he had kindly sent to me I found photocopies of covers with
route Instruction markings not yet recorded. Unfortunately, the
photocopies which are almost 30 years old are not of a quality to measure
and classify the items. I therefore have created this page with the idea
that the current owner of any of the shown items come forward and submit a
clear 600 dpi scan by
Email so
these items may be recorded and classified correctly.
The page will be updated and extended as per the progress i make in
going thru the archive.
