Great Info Chris, thankyou.
Once again hamstrung by lack of decent Catalogues.
We rarely see any S/A literature, or even South American
collections at the Auctions in my neck of the woods.



| SG Part 20 lists these in a separate section as "Fiscal Stamps used for
| Postage". You have No F3C.
| There is another 1884.1885 handstamp with thinner figures, and other
| dates also, as well as several sets in different colours going up to
| 1897. The higher FVs have CVs of a few pounds, but yours is minimal,
| sorry.
|
| The only variety of this stamp listed in "Simplified" is the one
| overprinted with a large date, CORREOS, surcharge, and initials of the
| Minister of Finance, Seraphin Wither.
