ikeyPikey,
Fenwickian philately is truly an obscure field. I've never seen issues from the Duchy. Do you think Tully Bascomb would consider issuing stamps like the dune states as a money maker?

Laughed at the Grand Fenwick thing because it reminded me of a tame version of something W.C. Fields would come up with. Speaking of which, my Great-Uncle was a character actor "Franklin Pangborn" who usually played a snooty bank-teller type and appeared in a couple W.C. Fields movies; some old-timers here may remember him.
But seriously folks, what is this thing?

Grand Fenwick is a 3-mile by 5-mile Duchy in the Alps. It has been bypassed and almost forgotten, but has kept its independence, a la San Marino, Monaco, Andorra.

That's the Bosnia and Herzegovina coat of arms.
Early issues (e.g., 1879) did not have country name. See recent Linn's article for light review of some countries that didn't have name on early stamps.

Thanks. Found it on the StampWorld site - great place for a WW catalog with nice pictures and some idea of what retail-ish buy/sell prices are like.
It was indeed under B&H and surprising (to me) a pretty common stamp judging by the 28c MNH 11c U asking prices.

It has the classic 2-headed Eagle thing but no script or even denomination for the numeration. Whazzup?
Thanks.
