Bahrain #408/716.
Small collection of "Specimen" examples, including a number of sets and souvenir sheets issued 1993-2014. Often overlooked, this Middle Eastern country has generally bucked the philatelic trend with fewer than 5 issues per annum, of reasonable face value and using local themes. As they don’t need the money from philatelic sales, stamps are generally printed in quantities less than 100,000, souvenir sheets less than 10,000! One of the souvenir sheets was damaged in transit, and the #578a was unevenly folded, otherwise the condition is excellent. These examples were sent out to standing order collectors and can have significant asking prices online. A number of the thin card folders that they came in are included. Catalogued regular issue stamps. Total 2024 Scott US$445.05 =
