Who is Peter Feltus?

Peter Randolph Feltus is an American philatelist who is an expert on the revenue stamps of Egypt and Sudan. He is a member of the American Philatelic Society, the Sudan Study Group and, since 1962, the Egypt Study Circle.

Peter Feltus was born in New Orleans and educated at Tulane University and the University of Hong Kong. He was awarded a B.A. degree in philosophy by the University of California at Berkeley in 1969.

In 1982 he published the first detailed catalogue of Egyptian and Sudanese revenue stamps. Feltus visited Egypt five times in order to prepare the catalogue which, apart from normal Egyptian revenue stamps, included descriptions of cinderella stamps, inter-postal seals and stamps incorporating deliberate errors produced for the collections of King Fuad and King Farouk.
