Mauritania issue. Best of three examples known of this first issue date. Few staple holes. A special piece from the Burson Collection. The unparalled Weldon Burson collection of Mauritania now begins. This is the only complete set of West African States issues for Mauritania; almost all are the finest known. We start with these West African States pieces and immediately continue with later notes listed under Mauritania proper. Many West African States notes were originally in the famed holdings of Michel Becuwe and Roger Leclerc; Weldon obtained others from bank contacts on numerous trips to West Africa. The best examples were kept and are being offered right now. No public auction has ever come near to approaching this offering; take advantage of this outstanding opportunity!
