Makes one wonder what stamps the folks of Barbados have been using all this time?

But presumably Barbados will not leave the British Commonwealth which already ha a member republic - the Republic of South Africa. And the Queen is head of the commonwealth.

I'd hazard a guess that most of the countries in the Commonwealth are republics. Some have no historic relationship with Britain. |

It could be argued that much of modern Britain has no historic relationship with the Britain of the Commonwealth. For another forum, I'm sure. |

Same country, other form of government. At best the inscription changes. |

Unless there is a name change, I doubt we will see a new Scott number 1 stamp. I do not collect modern but did check Scott and appears Barbados had a fairly conservative stamp issuing policy. |

I signed up for new issues from the Barbados Post Office back in 2000, and have been very satisfied with their service. Not a lot of "wallpaper" stamps, so my account deposits last many years. Each set of stamps comes with a nice tri-fold brochure describing the topics, printing methods and printers, etc. Very worthwhile to me.
