Welcome
to
Norvic Philatelics
We try to be the web's number 1 resource for up-to-date
news about new stamps of Great Britain.
The 2025
stamp programme is underway and is really no better than
previous years'. With the Vicar of Dibley and the Australian
band AC/DC things do seem to be going in a downward direction.
The
full year programme has now been published, with still
more for which the reason is obscure!
This website - and eventually the business - was created over
twenty years ago in 1998 with the Lighthouses stamp issue. We
have recreated and updated those pages here.
The story of our first 20 years is on
the blog here.
As it is much quicker for us to write a blog entry
than to update a website, our very latest news will be on
our blog. The last 4 blog entries are summarised in
the column to the right.
E-MAILing us: Many pages have clickable 'email'
links. If you write, please use the SUBJECT line in your
mail to indicate which stamp issue you are writing about.

If you need anything for your collection which isn't shown
here - please ask, we may have it. Our webshop
has stamps, fdcs, booklets, postal stationery, world postal
history, maximum cards, picture postcards, with integrated
shipping and payment facilities.
We also have the embryo of
a site devoted to the stamps and postal history of
the countries of the Former Soviet Union in the 1990s.
This is a fascinating area of modern postal history and we
hope to find time away from GB new issues to develop this
site to show material from Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Lithuania etc, as well as
Belarus which is already shown. You can see
it
here.

Is this £2.20 King Charles definitive the most boring
colour of a really unflattering definitive? Apparently
not as subsequent replacement airmail values were just as
bad! (£2.50
and £2.80)
The £3.40 of September 2025 uses the same colour as now shown
above.
UPDATE 10 September 2025 -
The last edition (Version 2.6.10)
of our Machin
Security Checklist is still available. It
can be downloaded here.
We are not stocking Machins, or any datamatrix stamps, or
new issues of special stamps.
We will continue to publish news about Royal Mail's new
philatelic products and other items of interest on the blog.
Our online
shop remains open, but some stock will be offered through
lists available through
the blog.
Now available DISCOUNT
POSTAGE - as a result of the Royal Mail Machin
invalidation and SwapOut we have a large amount of
postage available at good prices if you need some
despite being a collector!
This includes definitives special issues, & Post and Go,
1st class and Airmail. Large letter stamps to follow.
However, if you are a regular customer or blog contributor,
please contact for even
better special prices.
