    Solution to Sherlock Holmes Philatelic Stamp Mystery…

    Hi Mairiuna ! I doubt you have been able to find the solution to the stamp mystery, since you would need a magnifying glass and the physical copies of the stamps to find the hidden letters.

    That’s why I will give you the solution right now!

    Sherlock Holmes Stamps - GB 1993 - Hidden Letter D

    The letter D is found on The Hound of the Baskervilles stamp, at the bottom center.

    Sherlock Holmes Stamps - GB 1993 - Hidden Letter O

    The letter O, on The Final Problem stamp. It’s the cuff-link ;-)

    Sherlock Holmes Stamps - GB 1993 - Hidden Letter Y

    The letter Y, on The Greek Interpreter one, under his knee.

    Sherlock Holmes Stamps - GB 1993 - Hidden Letter L

    The letter L, on The Six Napoleons stamp. On the table, there’s a book. It’s on the cover.

    Sherlock Holmes Stamps - GB 1993 - Hidden Letter E

    The letter E, on The Reigate Squire, near Watson’s right shoulder. Examine the spine of the cover.

     

    The above pictures were taken on a superb site devoted to detective fiction on stamps. And you know what? Sherlock Holmes has a complete page of it’s own! A must see for all sherlockians.

    Here’s the link : http://www.trussel.com/detfic/sholmes.htm
