Hi Guys,

Like lots of Collectors & Sellers I am ONLY familiar with the stamps from a few Countries (Mostly Oceania) so for me when it comes to the following quote by the OP He may as well be speaking another language.

"where the category for pre-independent issues of a British Colonial territory was found under British Commonwealth and the category for post-independent issues was found under the appropriate geographical region."

I have trouble with the identity of many British stamps (and other countries) and some may well end up in the wrong category, I would welcome advice from the experts if any are found in the wrong place.
Cheers

Steve.
