About Me

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to the world of philately, having recently inherited a stamp collection from my late father. While I unfortunately know next to nothing about stamp collecting, I am eager to learn and preserve his legacy.

His collection covers a wide range of Southern African regions, but I know that the Cape of Good Hope was an area of particular interest and passion for him. Because of this sentimental connection, I have decided to focus my energy here. My goal is to properly identify, organize, and mount these specific stamps into albums to honor his memory.

Among his materials, I have found a significant number of triangular stamps. Most of these are currently unidentified, and frankly, I am entirely out of my depth trying to distinguish between the different issues, printings, and subtle variations.

This is where I am humbly asking for your help. Over the coming days and weeks, I plan to post clear images of these triangular stamps in this thread. I would be incredibly grateful if the resident experts and specialists here could help me identify exactly what I have.

Since I am a complete beginner, please bear with me if I ask basic questions! Any advice on how to properly handle, scan, and describe these stamps for you all would also be highly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for your time, patience, and expertise. I look forward to learning from this community!
