埃及學習圈成立于 1935 年，致力于研究埃及集邮。会员年费£19。

The Egypt Study Circle, formed in 1935, is devoted to the study of Egyptian philately.

The ESC magazine The Quarterly Circular is issued, by air for overseas, or by download to all members, four times a year.

The subscription for 2021 is due on January 1. For printed copies please pay £24 /  US$27 If you choose the online version please pay only £19 / US$20 . If using PayPal please add an extra £1 / $2 to cover their fees.  

This website has a members-only section with various topics of Egyptian philately ranging from a stub for members to add to right through to a detailed study on a particular topic. Included are various data sheets and past articles.

The ESC welcomes new members who collect Egypt and wish to share their knowledge. Applicant members are reviewed at the next available meeting and almost invariably accepted into membership. Please note that members of the philatelic trade are not normally accepted unless they are bona fida collectors in their own right of Egyptian philately.

It is hoped that members will co-operate in studying various aspects of Egyptian philately and the section on queries and answers is one of the most important features of the QC. It is also appreciated, however, that all must start somewhere - so if you are a beginner and wish to lean about Egyptian philately then joining the Circle is an excellent place to start.

If you collect Egypt and are interested in joining, and thus enhancing your enjoyment of the hobby, please contact the Secretary (egyptstudycircle@hotmail.com), who will send an application form, which should be returned together with a year’s subscription payment. I you are accepted as a member your name will be added to the mailing list and you will qualify to receive that full year's QC back copies. If it is possible to visit London to coincide with a meeting, just come along and meet the group before committing yourself: visitors are always assured of a warm welcome, either at the meeting itself or in the bar beforehand.

埃及英治时期 (1882~1922)  金字塔群戳可分为 P1, HM1, P3, P4, P6A (该文章在埃及學習圈期刊上) 。

在HM1和P3之间有一段时间(P2)，在这段时间内除了开罗戳(以上图 3)，没有金字塔群戳。

金字塔群P3 戳极限片约19枚, 国内约9枚, 我只有三枚(以上图5,图 6)。

金字塔群P4 戳极限片约 4枚, 国内约0枚, 我只有二枚(以上图7)。

金字塔群P6A戳极限片约17枚, 国内约8枚, 我只有三枚(以上图8,图9)。

关于第一枚极限片诞生故事的传统说法如下：一位旅行埃及的遊客，為了給在法國的朋友捎個音訊，在一個偶然的機會下，買了枚金字塔風景明信片，同時將金字塔郵票貼在图案面上，寄了出去，写了法文 Timbre côté vue或 TCV在明信片的地址那面, 告诉郵務員郵資已付，表明邮票貼在明信片的图案面上, 请盖邮戳在邮票上。於是就无意形成了第一枚金字塔极限明信片 。

多年来，极限被所谓的集邮主流的传统和邮史看不起，极限只是收集幼稚的连环图。 现在我们已经极限科学化，极限可以自豪地站起来, 甚至超越其他类别之上。极限是实验科学。极限是数据数学。极限有数据库来研究家族、辈分和演化。

简单地总结如下：
第一代前驱品多为TVA (Timbre côté vue et adresse郵票貼在图案和地址同一面) 。不是无意形成 。
第二代前驱品全是TCV (Timbre côté vue 郵票貼在图案面上)  没有TCA (Timbre côté adresse 郵票貼在地址面上)  。不是无意形成 。
