(Author: Larry Fillion)

On April 15-21, 2007, David Feldman ran an auction which contained many wonderful malaria items from The Courvoisier Archive. Many of these malaria items were unique proofs and full sheets of imperforated malaria issues. The issue with the auction is that the malaria proofs were part of large lots of proofs that sold for thousands to tens of thousands of euros. Below is a table of information from the David Feldman auction including descriptions and images that the auction firm has given the MPI to publish. There are not images for everything.
