Dear Collector, Welcome to our first Central and Southern Africa list of 2018. There is a wealth of attractive new material to peruse. From Natal there is a fresh range of Chalons, including varieties and a most unusual usage of the 1902 3d. on 4d. Telegraph issue postally used on cover. The offering of New Republic remains strong and contains some important rarities, with many new items added to stock in recent months. This is a rare opportunity for collectors of this interesting and short lived Boer Republic as the current range is the best we have had for many years. The tete-beche pairs and inverted arms varieties are particularly desirable. South African Railway Officials made their debut in Part One in recent years and plenty of gems from this interesting and popular area are contained within this list. The 1905 4d. Block of four is a particularly impressive item and is offered alongside a number of rare multiples. Orange Free state has a wide array of fresh material with particular strength in the most attractive Postal Fiscal issue of 1882-86. Multiples and varieties, particularly on the telegraph issues are difficult to find and the list contains a number of better positional pieces. Last but of course not least are the ever popular Boer War Army Telegraph issues which we have not had available for at least two years. Deceptively difficult to find in fine quality (particularly in sets and multiples!), they never stay in stock for long so order early to avoid disappointment!
