Rsa?

This is a nice stamp that says RSA, please pardon the question, what country is RSA?

Republic of South Africa

Scott #371 "Ram's Head and Wool" from South Africa. It was released on May 15 1972. $0.20 USD regardless of mint or used.

copy south africa, thank you 64 and knudson!

I know this is an old post but I have to start off my first post with some south african info :)

This type was first printed 1972 (15th of May) with the watermark RSA tete-beche and was printed in two distinct (light and dark) shades. Then again in October 1973 as part of the definitive issue with no water mark and phosphorescent paper. There is also chalky paper stamp from 1974.

Londonbus1.....loves giving orders !

Oh yes....

Thanks for the welcome nuggethill. Londonbus I have done all three of your requests - I still have my Chocolate, I will have to eat it soon as I dont think it will last the years like stamps do.

Just another tidbit - According to my South African catalog there is also an imperforate pair of the original printing. I have never seen one of the pairs but I'm sure it will pop up in an auction sometime.
