These Airmail 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 unmounted mint. Any variation to this statement will be mentioned.

Mistakes may have been made, so please let us know about them!
