I came across an interesting web sites listing ACD and SH inspired stamps at http://www.trussel.com/detfic/sholmes.htm

.. some interesting angles, eg commemorating 'the bullet that brought Watson to Holmes'

The Battle of Maiwand Centenary
July 26-27, 1980
Maiwand Jezails
designed by Richard D. Lesh,
Wayne, Nebraska.

Now, that's early geekdom!

I liked this!! beautiful artwork on the stamps. I loved the art from my fav movie the great mouse detective. I didn't see anything of Jeremy Brett's Sherlock, tho-- was he on a stamp ever? thanks for posting!
