Togo KGV

After the Togo soccer/football team's tragedy a couple weeks ago, I thought about this stamp and tried to dig it out. (That's another story.) One doesn't often think of Togo as a source for KGV stamps. This was occasioned by the French/British invasions/occupation of Togo during World War I. German stamps were overprinted, and then they switched to stamps of Gold Coast. Lots of variations in the overprints on these stamps...

Better late than never.



This one has a small crease; replacing it won't cost much...I just have to run across one.

Ah Ha! That's a real kick in the keester.

A belated contribution to this thread

jubilee-

Is that a thin "G" variety on the right?

Nice corner piece...tons of variety in the Togo overprints.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't think so. I'll have to look at it more closely and let you know! Nice plate number pair though

I don't know...take a look at the gap between the G and the L, and compare it with the stamp on the left...might be?

Can we get a ruling from the hive?
