"STOLEN" Czechoslovak Prephilatelic Collection

Please be informed that a high quality collection of prephilatelic covers has been stolen from me in May this year.The stolen objects are from 1789 until 1850 and were part of the late Paul Jensen's top rated collection. I am missing approximately 250 covers from this period, the original exhibit plus many other spare objects. The objects were mounted as an exhibit, mostly on light grey sheets with English text, but also on white ruled sheets with text in Norwegian. Many of the sheets had Paul Jensen’s personal address label on the reverse side. They may of course now appear unmounted. I possess good quality photos of many of the objects.I appeal to the international community of (pre-)philatelists to keep eyes and ears open for signals that can lead to the return of single objects or the complete collection. If in doubt of the provenance of any such objects, please do not hesitate to send me scans or photocopies, and I will be happy to verify whether they may originate from my collection.
