A South Africa Customs Duty 3d overprint on a KGV bicolor. Makes for a sharp-looking stamp. The general revenue series, of which my avatar is an example, includes this 10-shilling example. The year of production is included in the design of the later examples, right at the base of the bust: You could spend a lifetime chasing down the values and the years. With as many as I have, I still pick them up when I see them as I figure there is a reasonable chance a hole could be filled.

" Now what was that SONG ? 🎼 Sarie Marais? “ Take me back to the Old Transvaal……🎶 a cracker of a cancel , so often you only get a part cancel, to get a complete on the stamp is fantastic

0.10 €. Not too expenssive I don't specifically collect South Africa. But I like British Commonwealth and Empire stamps. And, this, was too beautiful to pass

In Barcelona's Sunday (small) stamps market, there are about 3 or 4 stalls where you can find used stamps for 0.1 €. In general, just stamps that everyone already has. But, once in a while, you can spot a gem... You'll never know! That's the thrill of going there every Sunday!
