These Airmail & Machiin singles were issued between 2003 and 2010. Because customers may not have wanted a full booklet, the PB issued singles. As the stamps were self-adhesive the PB decided to die-stamp or guillotine these issues to make marketing easier.
Catalogue numbers for these stamps are difficult to allocate. Consequently we have numbered them between A1 and F14. The A to F designation refers to the six Presentation Packs that the stamps appear in. The numbers 1 to 14 denote individual stamps within the packs.
In conclusion, all of our stamps are in an excellent condition and are also unmounted mint. Any variation to this statement will be mentioned.
