Morning all
I have recently purchased a sizeable lot of recent South Africa stamps. Does anyone know of a catalogue covering plate flaws and the like? I have an SG Commonwealth up to 1984 but it although it has perf variations and the odd flaw it doesn't do the detail I need. Have googled with no success. Thanks in advance.

Are they modern (Republican, from 1961 onwards) or older plate flaws? You can try contacting http://www.stamps.org.za/ or Otto Peetoom who really knows his stuff at http://www.southafricanstamps.net/South_Africa.htm. He will be able to put you in contact with the right people.

Rgds, Tim

Hello Tim
These appear to be all 1970s and 80s. I picked them up in a local auction, not realising how many there were! On starting to go through them I see there are various flaws in some sets, some of which appear to be constant, so I really could do with some reference material.
Thanks for the info.
