Just inquiring for those who might already know, is this Belgie-Congo now known as the Democratic Congo or the Republic of Congo? Thank you

Belgian Congo is currently known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. For the last decades of the 20th century, it was called Zaire.

Nice cancel. Your stamp is "famous" as a design error for depicting a locomotive with no wheels.

Good old President Mobutu. If there was ever a more kind, gentle and fair African leader I haven't heard of him.

Thanks cjd, never had a famous stamp before, it feels good and yes, first time I noticed - there are no wheels on this train.
About how much does the book price this stamp? Sorry I dont have a scott or any reference book to look up.

Thank you!
