Do you havea Grand Prix, Large Gold Medal or Award-Winning collection?
Do you thinkyou will sell your collection within the next 5 years?
So if your answer to both these questions is "yes", then we invite you to phone or write to us personally to discuss the possibilities.
Taking account of the last 40 years, we have regularly offered many exceptional collections of Grand Prix and Large Gold status. We have often achieved results including world record prices that have astonished the owners. These 40 years of experience and achievements have established for us an organisation we believe second to none in the philatelic world.
A flexible yet most comprehensive range of activities permits us to relate our services to the needs and requirements of each important collection. But we also like to cater to the needs and re-quirements of its owner. Substantial cash advance facilities and flexible commission arrangements are part of our standard service.
Marketing - The selling of a well-known collection can always benefit from early planning, and a well defined strategy to ensure a successful result. Global promotion through the la-test Internet technology was pioneered by David Feldman auctions (“live” multi-city and home participation).
Preparation - Beautiful catalogues of high academic form and content, travelling, exhibitions and worldwide promotion make each auction a major philatelic event.
Satisfaction - The David Feldman Company has auctioned more Grand Prix and Large Gold Medal collections than any company in the history of philately! Ask some of those who already have sold with us. Think it over and contact us at your convenience.

It is with great pleasure that we present the current catalogue, a highly diverse and interesting offer of several hundred lots, encompassing the full spectrum of Siamese philately, and featuring the very important collection of ROYAL MAIL assembled by the late Prakaipet Indhusophon, one of the most eminent philatelists of the last century. It would probably be impossible to form a comparable collection today absent the items presented here, outside the archives of the Royal Family of Thailand.
We recall a time when the greatest collections of Thailand had been built by English or American philatelists: Walter Pears, Charles Stewart, Henry Madden, Carlos Swanson and others. In the last decade, the collections which benefited from the dispersal of those “name” holdings have primarily been formed by collectors within Thailand, who continue to enjoy the repatriation of their philatelic heritage whenever an important specialised offer presents itself.
The lots which comprise this catalogue, in addition to the Royal Mail, include many items whose provenance goes at least to the “name” collections mentioned above - there are numerous blocks and covers that are ex Pears, ex Swanson or ex Stewart throughout the sale. At the back of the catalogue are several very large lots, including the dispersal of a complete dealer's stock in several lots, and an important specialised collection of the Provisional issues, offered intact. The currency for bidding in this auction is the Euro (¤).
For this auction, we will have a special viewing of all but the largest lots in Bangkok on April 19, 2007, and for the auction, we will have a remote sales room in Bangkok at the Landmark Hotel on the day of the auction. Please see page 1 for more details. If you are unable to attend the auction in person, either in Geneva or Bangkok, we invite you to take part in the auction in real time via the internet, at www.davidfeldman.com. You can hear what's going on in the auction room in Geneva, you can register and bid on any lot of interest to you, and you can keep track of your results lot by lot. We illustrate nearly every larger lot, sometimes with multiple images, on our web site, and there you can also learn about and try out the live auction software.
A final note: catalogue numbers for the Thailand proper are from the “Standard Catalogue of Thai Postage Stamps" by Sakserm Siriwong. Numbers and catalogue values for the British P.O. in Bangkok issues are from Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth & Empire Catalogue, 1840-1952.

20000 F 9 The Famous Seventeenth Century Letter from Malacca 10’000 - 15’000 1688 - The earliest known letter written in English regarding Siam, written by William Soame, regarding the revolution in Siam during the reign of King Narai (1655-1688). Soame stayed in Siam during the revolution and collected information which he beleived to be credible. This letter, containing such information, was sent from Malacca to a friend in India. It relates how the Siamese General, Phra Phedtaja, usurped royalty and his family by charging Phra Pe (the King’s adopted son) and Constant Phaulkon of treason and then executed them. He also eliminated the King’s two brothers by stamping them to death with sandalwood. It also recounts the conflict and turmoil at court while the King was unable to attend to the affairs of the government, and the consequences the French received after the uprising. An outstanding historical item of great rarity and importance to Thailand Provenace: Rattakul, Prakaipet

Please take the time to examine this worth-while lot, assembled over 30+ years, which could become the foundation for an internet enterprise or provide many dozens of mail sale items (1'000s)#
20346 CDCE 1885-1915 Provisional Surcharge Issues, spectacular exhibition-mounted 8’000 GHJ collection on 52 pages, highly specialised incl. numerous listed and unlisted setting varieties (such as substituted or broken English or Siamese characters and other abnormals), all issues represented incl. strong 1885 and 1888-90 issues, one Battambong Provisional tied to fragment, the 1907 Surcharged Fiscals set used, etc. with very little lacking for completion and loaded with important multiples, “kiss” double surcharges, etc. which go beyond the standard catalogues (though the nominal catalogue value is enormous).
