THE PERFIN FOREIGN BILL STAMPS OF GREAT BRITAIN THE PERFIN FOREIGN BILL STAMPS OF GREAT BRITAIN By Jeff Turnbull THE PERFIN FOREIGN BILL STAMPS OF GREAT BRITAIN PART ONE FOREIGN BILL STAMPS © COPYRIGHT 2021 THE PERFIN FOREIGN BILL STAMPS OF GREAT BRITAIN DEDICATION This opening page is dedicated to the Late Mr. Kevin Parkhill of Rochdale, a keen Perfin Society member, who initiated this study of the perfined revenue stamps of Great Britain. I would not have been able to produce this catalogue without Kevin's notes, papers and correspondence from perfin collectors around the world. You all know who you are, so many thanks indeed for your information which has culminated in this first specialised edition of a GB Foreign Bill Perfin Revenue Catalogue. THE PERFIN FOREIGN BILL STAMPS INTRODUCTIONOF GREAT BRITAIN The following pages have been put together with the intention of helping the collector of perfinned revenue stamps, it is by no means complete, hopefully collectors who have additional information will let me know the details, and more pages will be made up as and when. As there is no present perfinned Revenue cataloguing system I am adopting a new system, using the letter followed by two numbers and two decimal places. A single letter "M" after the catalogue number indicates a Multi headed die. I.E. A 23.01. Where the perfin is already catalogued in the New Gault Illustrated perfin catalogue on postage stamps, then this catalogue number will also be alongside. At this moment in time only different Reigns will be used, with an accompanying list of stamps on which the perfin has been seen.

1 the Napoleon of Finance1 and the End of Finance Capitalism. Emil
The Napoleon of Finance1 and the end of Finance Capitalism. Emil Glückstadt and the collapse of Landmandsbanken in 1922. Per H. Hansen, Copenhagen Business School, [email protected] [This is a draft only. Please do not quote. Comments are welcome] Introduction Over the last few decades of deregulation a new narrative has been constructed that have made the business leader, the entrepreneur, the financier and private equity capitalists into our new heroes.2 The authors of this narrative have to a large degree been the heroes themselves well assisted by the media, academics and others. The “business and finance leader as hero”-narrative means that emphasis has shifted from distribution and redistribution of the “cake” (GDP) to what size the cake has. The more or less implicit assumption is that if the cake is large enough everyone will get their fair share, a rather doubtful assumption. It could be argued that this construction of a new hero of the deregulated, globalized Western economies had led to financialization of the economy and, ultimately, to the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009. If this thesis is sustainable, it could perhaps be further argued that the reason that the financial crisis was so deep and so serious was related to the degree of deregulation and financialization of the economy.3 I am not going to analyze the current crisis, however. Rather, my aim in this paper is to contribute to an understanding of one the bank manager, Emil Glückstadt, and his bank, Landmandsbanken’s role in the Danish financial system and the financial crisis in Denmark in the interwar period.

Weekly Update
Investment Strategy 5 February 2021 C0 | EXTERNAL PUBLICATION WEEKLY UPDATE Of stimulus and prices Recent discussions in Washington have strengthened hope that President Biden’s $1.9 tn fiscal plan could make progress in Congress, while the rapid ramp-up in vaccinations – 10.2% of the US population, 15.8% in the UK (see the left-hand chart below) – has lent weight to the prospect of cyclical economic recovery later this year. With recent inflation figures in the euro zone and the US surprising on the upside, investors have continued to position themselves for reflation. What does all this mean for the economic outlook and for markets? This week, Biden began talks with a group of moderate Republican senators who had proposed a $618 bn alternative plan. Although the Democrats’ majority in Congress means bipartisan support for his package may not be necessary, the President is looking to the longer term. By seeking to build bridges and engage with the Republicans, he may slow approval of the current plan but he may also garner support for his separate $2 tn stimulus plan which is due later this year. The two plans are very different in nature. The current proposal seeks to provide support for households (via $1,400 cheques), schoolchildren ($130 bn to accelerate school reopenings), the unemployed (an additional $400 per week in benefits) and state and local governments ($350 bn cash injection to prevent lay-offs of public sector employees). The second plan aims to focus on investment in green energy technologies and infrastructure, for example in transportation, electricity and construction.

1914 and 1939
APPENDIX PROFILES OF THE BRITISH MERCHANT BANKS OPERATING BETWEEN 1914 AND 1939 An attempt has been made to identify as many merchant banks as possible operating in the period from 1914 to 1939, and to provide a brief profle of the origins and main developments of each frm, includ- ing failures and amalgamations. While information has been gathered from a variety of sources, the Bankers’ Return to the Inland Revenue published in the London Gazette between 1914 and 1939 has been an excellent source. Some of these frms are well-known, whereas many have been long-forgotten. It has been important to this work that a comprehensive picture of the merchant banking sector in the period 1914–1939 has been obtained. Therefore, signifcant efforts have been made to recover as much information as possible about lost frms. This listing shows that the merchant banking sector was far from being a homogeneous group. While there were many frms that failed during this period, there were also a number of new entrants. The nature of mer- chant banking also evolved as stockbroking frms and issuing houses became known as merchant banks. The period from 1914 to the late 1930s was one of signifcant change for the sector. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), 361 under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 B.

The 1930 depression affected the bank's international business and it concentrated on domestic lending and Scandinavia.
