Hello, I can't find this stamp listed in Scott and am assuming it is a revenue. Does Can anyone give me a catalog numer for this? The Woermann-Li was a German shipping line that existed from 1886-1941 and was one of the leading shipping companies to Afr=ica. I love this cancel.
Again, all help is most gratefully appreciated.
David

Stanley Gibbons lists the S.W.A. overprint (Type 10) as being used on stamps of South Africa from Aug, 1927 to 1930. I don't find your stamp though, so indeed a Revenue?

I like the Walvis Bay cancellation.

It is indeed a revenue stamp and says "Revenue Inkomst" at the top.

It's listed in the Barefoot catalogue as #15B issued in 1928.
