Here is another little gem just found in my stock. Catalogues have been showing a date of issue as 2nd January 1926. I submitted this to Stanley Gibbons in 2021 for investigation as possible pre lease but they came back with a revised FDI date. The reference in the letter for disc refers to my in depth sorting chart for South African definitives 1926 to 1954 ![](https://i.ibb.co/ydzjjWh/3438638e-a6d5-48e2-a4aa-25495c724899.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/QJFW0JG/0ba9e232-e16d-4df2-83b4-6e4e0741cee5.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/vkXTfx4/c4ad8b84-f09e-438b-827f-d80cb53abae4.jpg)

The SA Colour Catalogue does not give an issue date other than the year 1926, however it does mention that the 4d triangle was first recorded on the 1st January 1926, "mostly" in Cape Town but on the 2nd for most other post offices.
