Over the years Nigel Haworth has sold most of the small definitives and surcharges which were issued up to the last 2 or 3 years although I think he was never able to offer the 500c shell stamp (Gibbons no. 2157c) and I have never seen that stamp being sold in mint condition by anyone. I finally tracked it down in used condition by looking at the illustrations of the packets of Ghanaian used stamps for sale on EBay and it occasionally turns up, as do most of the other values, and that seems the best way to obtain an example of these stamps although at the moment at least you will be lucky to find them in unused condition. I also bought some unused stamps at a reasonable price from a dealer on Delcampe but I will not identify him at present since I have an order with him currently which has not been despatched 4 weeks after the order was placed. Some of the most recent surcharges as detailed in articles in Gibbons Stamp Monthly last year, must be very rare but may turn up as time goes by.White Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968199477827266643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005756131065514338.post-42342414575078415872012-06-10T02:04:05.741+00:002012-06-10T02:04:05.741+00:00Hi, I am also trying to obtain the small size defi...Hi, I am also trying to obtain the small size definitives (including surcharges). I have got a few from Nigel (M&N Haworth) but was wondering if you had any duplicates you would be interested in trading either for Ghana or other commenwealth countries.<br />I only collect BR Comm definitives (1953-)<br />Thanks<br />Nazir Rahemtulla<br />ceditwin@hotmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050594171297501361noreply@blogger.com
