I think that meter collecting is gaining in popularity. More people are studying the different syles etc.

For those of you who are really interested in this facit of philately, I suggest you try the online catalogue of WW meters. It is very thorough and interesting.

The website is at:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/International_Postage_Meter_Stamp_Catalog

I think it is well worth looking into.

and thanks for the comment. It’s very nice to get feedback from specialists /experts of topic in question as it will very likely open an interesting ( and more indepth) discussion that will teach something new… As said in the post, I’m not an expert with these (or anything else in philately to be precise ). My source for these is/has been couple of odd articles in “general worldwide” stamp magazines. So in a way I’m not that suprised about the errors; especially as I tried to keep the topic very simple, short & easy to read.

I will take a peek with the link you mentioned during weekend. French language is not a problem as I do read/understand it good extent; writing in French is the hard part I have never learned to master

I have send you also email.

best,

Hmmm! Some of what you wrote is right, but the big part is not right. I am a specialist of meter stamps from Switzerland and I can answer to your question if you want. But there is a large subject !
Yon can find some informations on the website of our Philately Society where I have placed some of my publications (http://cpde.ch/publications.html). However there are in french (sorry). I can also send to you informations much general on the swiss meter stamps but I cannot send pdf files through this mail.
Best regards
