Background

This is a huge collection of stamps with the arms of countries and families, issued around 1900-1920. The total number is not known, the largest collection I have seen had 3800 stamps. The stamps were issued in sheets, which were numbered, but the stamps itself were not numbered.

The stamps could be glued on pages, which were then kept in boxes, see image above. I have no idea whether an index was issued.

An example of a sheet :

Cards issued:

I have 10 sheets and around 1200 loose images. As the cards are not numbered, I only show the sheets here. Any help on numbering the other ones is appreciated !
