    Hi Bazzer

    Individual stamps from the 1922 Irish definitives are available from Irishstamps.net - see page from attached website.

    Getting individual stamps or part-sets from the Commonwealth countries you mention will be more difficult, particularly if they are modern. Ebay or a general dealer might be an option.

    Missent Hi i had problems with Irish stamps . net which i did order from but they didn't have the stamps which put me off dealing with them again , i don't know if anyone else had similar problems but i was waiting 3 weeks on my order . I've contacted a few local dealers but since i'm looking for Mint never hinged its harder to get. The closest i got was mint hinged which i don't bother with any tips for me ?

    Thanks

    Another dealer with good stocks of Irish stamps is Ravenstamps in Cork. I've attached a link to his Irish definitives page. If you're very particular about unmounted mint, it's better to examine the stamps before purchase. There is a stamp fair in Dublin on Sunday, 19 April, in the RDS (see their website for details) where some of the dealers should be present.

    I've attached the link to the show here. As far as I know, Stampa only looks after the main fair in October.
