GSM has been in continuous publication since its first issue in 1890. During that time, it has faced some challenges, not least of which was an entire edition being destroyed by a World War II bomb in 1941.
Yet through all tests, it has passed with flying colours and stands proudly to this day as the UK’s leading philatelic magazine. It is an essential source of philatelic information for specialists and new collector alike.
