Da mein Neffe im August auf grosse Weltreise ging verbindet mich zur Zeit was zu Indonesien



von oben nach unten:
Malaischer Kantschil (Tragulus javanicus)
Glattotter (Lutrogale perspicillata)
Sundaschuppentier (Manis javanica)
Banteng (Bos banteng)
Sumatranashorn (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)

Gemeinschaftsausgabe: Slowakei - Indoensien 2006

Mein Katalog ist leider zu alt, um diese Ausgaben aus etwa 1992 noch bestimmen zu können.

Der erste Luftpostleichtbrief ist nach Köln/Rhein gelaufen, die restlichen Poststücke waren nach Jakarta adressiert.

Hello fellow Forum members!

In regards to the scans of Indonesian covers of Deutsche Welle recipients and other organizations in Indonesia, I would like to clarify that these are sold in bulk form in (collector) markets in the major cities here in Java, Indonesia.

Many times these mass produced envelopes are thrown away into general trash. There is a whole cottage industry here that goes through the trash looking for items of any possible value. It is not as unhygienic as one might think because office trash is different - mostly - from homes, hotels and restaurants. As literally thousands of tons of garbage are analyzed, interesting items can be found. Garbage/Paper trash is also imported into Indonesia for recycling. I have obtained Banknote proofs from recyclers - also currency etc.

If one was to buy the covers the prices from the 1980-1990 period would range from Rp 5000-10000 per item retail.
