let me try to explain - Skilo did this great write up on the KGV's.. so my interest got peeked when i found a number of 10 Pfennig German Scott number 48's..

after a bit of searching (by the way i SUCK at searching for specific types of material like this) i found this link

i was hopeful some one could find info on this issue..

Looks like you found all the info we will ever need.
This is much better than the Michel German specialized catalogue.

but its small and i need a more detailed write up that i can print off and use like a hand book.. or an actual handbook would be great also i cannot find one!!

What a great link!

Well done Mr. Bear; I spent a few hours looking through the exhibits - top stuff!

another good site but still not 100% what i am looking for.. i really want a printable version of this type of information or an inexpensive copy of the German Specialized catalog (hard copy or PDF)

along these lines i found this wonderful site and the pages print off like a nice book so i can put them right in the binder with the stock sheets for the ones i am looking at.. oter information is being processed for me as well and if able i will happily share that here when i can.

Jery is a wonderful man who i hope may someday join our ranks and share his incredible wealth of knowledge with our community.

that said as i have also mentioned elsewhere i finally scored a Michel catalog so things are moving right along on this adventure.

Jerry has joind us here at Stamp Bears but as you are aware new members are not able to post links so he passed this on for the community to share!!

this will also get add to the resources thread as i can not let this one get lost
