In 1993, Feldman auctioned the "Bordeaux Cover", which comprised the 1847 1d Orange-red and the 2d Deep Blue Mauritius "Post Office" stamps, which brought 6,175,000 Swiss francs including all commissions, the highest price ever paid for any philatelic item.

Retrieved 24 May 2010.〕 which at the time was the highest price ever paid for a single stamp, eclipsed in 2014 by the sale of the British Guiana 1c magenta.
==Early life==
His early life was in Dublin, Ireland, where he started a stamp exchange scheme with school classmates at eight years of age. By 1958 this had become ''The Shamrock Stamp Club,'' a mail order sales business promoted by advertising in Mickey Mouse comics. Irish philately was his speciality; the first specialised stamp catalogue, ''Stamps of Ireland'' debuted in 1964 and in 1967 he held his first specialised Irish stamp auction took place on 10 February in Dublin. When the ''Handbook of Irish Philately'' was published in 1968, Feldman presented a copy to the President of Ireland, Éamon de Valera.
By the 1970s, a bullish stamp market led to a great increase in stamp prices; so much so, that Feldman states: "You just could not get enough stamps to sell." During this period he started David Feldman Ltd., became an auctioneer and philatelic author, and published the ''DF Newsletter,'' an Irish philatelic publication along with other specialised books. He also promoted three public stamp exhibitions in Dublin before becoming chairman of Stampa 1972, the first Irish National Stamp Exhibition. David Feldman was a member of the Philatelic Advisory Committee to the Irish Minister for Posts and Telegraphs, from 1975–1981, with Robson Lowe and other distinguished philatelists.〔
