Nyassa - Which Catalogues Cover It?

Great, many thanks to both of you for the clarification.

One more quick question, and then that's it (I promise)!

Would anyone be able to let me know the SG catalogue numbers for the five local overprints (not the London overprints) from Nyassa 1903 - scans below.

Thanks in advance for any help,

GS

From top to bottom, your overprinted stamps are SG 43, 44, 40, 41 & 42.

Thank you Ryan - coincidentally I was in our local library today and they happened to have a reference section which included SG. For some reason, SG don't recognise the local overprints as being of separate merit - the numbers you quote are for the London overprints, as they only quote a mint value of £1.20 per stamp, whereas the local overprints are in the hundreds...

I have no idea why not, but SG just do the 1901 issue, the London overprints and then straight on to the 1910 overprints. Strange, and quite an omission, one would think, but there it is! Or isn't!

This sound a lot like simplified "Stamps of the World" listing. SOTW listings omit everything that doesn't change the stamps design significantly... So you definitely need to digg out a copy of SG Portugal & Spain catalog somewhere and recheck.

Aaah, right - thank you.
