Expertizing

We offer authentication and expertizing services in certain areas of Judaic, Israeli, Mandate & Holyland philately. Our certification is a comprehensive professional opinion as to the identity and authenticity of philatelic items submitted for review. Material is inspected from start to finish, and each object merits its own in-depth research covering all aspects of philately from rates, routes, postmarks, postal handling and more. Even if an object has been certified before, new information is constantly being revealed and it never hurts to receive a second opinion. Contact us for more information.
