Welcome to our page on British Solomon Islands
Stamps
Stamps were first issued in 1907 in the British Solomon
Islands.
*Collecting window
1907-1963 (best period to
collect)
Nice
country to collect with only about 150 stamps issued
between 1907 and 1963. Most of the stamps have good
designs and the harder to find stamps are not to highly
priced.
One of the rarest
stamps from this period is the One Pound stamp SG38 issued
between 1914-23, price for this stamp in good mint
condition is around
£200.
