	Hello, and thank you for dropping by. My name is Jude Koch of Blue Owl's Stamps. Background: My interest in stamps & postal history was aroused in the 1980's when a box of Covers was passed onto me. Within a short time I was seeking out and sifting through everything and anything I could get my hands on. I made quite a spectacular find early on, an unrecoverable philatelic bug bite you might say, and everyday has since been a treasure hunt for me! I became a part time dealer in Adelaide, South Australia in the late 1980's, but ended up in a marketing career working mostly in the Information Technology industry. I returned to the stamp industry in 2001 and plan to stay now until the end! Personal Philatelic Interests: My main areas of interest lay in Australian Issues, especially the Kangaroo & Map Series along with the Specialty Pieces & Varieties from all of the Pre-Decimal period. I am also a keen student of Papua, New Guinea and the German Pacific region in Stamps and Postal History along with world-wide interrupted mail, particularly wreck mail. Philatelic Memberships: I am a trading member with the Australasian Philatelic Traders' Association (APTA) the foremost Stamp Dealer body in Australasia, and member of the following societies: The Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria, Australian Philatelic Society, Papuan Philatelic Society, Germany Philatelic Society and the Wreck & Crash Mail Society. Business Operation: Blue Owl's Stamps is a full time ever expanding business operated by myself and my wife Bridget. We are located in South Yarra, Melbourne Victoria, Australia. Blue Owl's Stamps is an Australian registered business, ABN 25582582421. After operating on eBay, and also supplying material to our private clients for a number of years, we decided in 2005 to offer our material to a wider range of collectors and developed our own website blueowlsstamps.com.au Listed on that website you will find an extensive range of material: Australia (including Colonies and Revenue Stamps), BNG, New Guinea, NWPI, GRI and Papua in General Issues, Specialty Items and Postal History.
