FOREWORD

DAVID R. PITTS, FRPSL

David Pitts is a lifelong collector, buying his first stamp at ageeight. As he advanced in his professional career he became aserious philatelist, focusing on the British Empire. Hisinterests have always been limited to used stamps and postalhistory; believing unused mint material, while frequentlyattractive works of art, are not as interesting as “cancelled”stamps.

His goal over the years has been to collect every issued stamp,used, and, their pre-adhesive postal markings, from eachcomponent of the entire British Empire, through to 1966.

David has always been particularly interested in Bermuda. Hisexhibit, “Bermuda: Crossroads of the Atlantic”, met withconsiderable acclaim in presentations before the RoyalPhilatelic Society and the Collectors Club of New York, and isthe only Bermuda exhibit to ever win an international LargeGold medal.

He is a Fellow of the “Royal”, a member of several otherphilatelic organizations, and, former president of the BermudaCollectors Society.

Mr. Pitts began his healthcare leadership career in the military, serving in several hospitals in the UnitedStates, England, and Vietnam, and, in executive staff positions in the offices of the Surgeon General andthe Secretary of Defense. For this service he received the Distinguished Service Medal and the Bronze Star.

He was the CEO of one of the largest hospital systems in the U.S., and, for 35 years owned PittsManagement Associates – one the most respected healthcare consulting and strategic advisory firms in theUnited States. A former “National Hospital Administrator of the Year”, he is frequently identified as oneof the leading healthcare leaders in the United States. For many years he has been President of HealthInsights Foundation, a highly regarded national healthcare “think tank”.

He has served as a Director of numerous organizations – frequently as Chairman – in several differentindustries: commercial banking, insurance, healthcare, broadcasting, international business, private equityfirms, higher education, power industry, and religious institutions.

Mr. Pitts graduated university in management and economics, holds two master’s degrees, and, is a Fellowin five professional organizations. He has received two honorary university degrees – Doctor of HumaneLetters and Doctor of Civil Law.

He is a “Canon” of the U.S. Episcopal Church, and, in 2002 Queen Elizabeth II made him a Knight ofGrace in the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

His wife Barbara, is an advanced practice nurse and a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army NurseCorps. Together they have seven children, eight grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.

In 1856, by agreement, the island was jointly occupied by a small garrison of each nation. Thedispute worsened and Governor Douglas suggested to the Colonial Office the need for a Naval and Militarypresence. In November 1858, a detachment of 207 Officers and men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry,including Lance Sergeant C. Whitlock, who wrote this letter, was sent to Vancouver’s Island from the RoyalMarine Brigade serving in China. The letter was sent in a closed bag from Victoria to the British Consuland Packet Agent at San Francisco, who arranged for mail to be taken to Panama by United States MailSteamers. Letters were carried from across the Isthmus of Panama by train to Colon, incurring a ForeignTransit Fee of 6d. payable by the recipient.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at Auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme

1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated Lots

Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered Lots

Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega Lots

Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold Lots

Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
