ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK / TRANSVAAL
Postage Stamps: 1882 2nd Republic to 1910
SECOND REPUBLIC  -  1883 Celliers printings  -  1d grey (to black)
T2817
1883 Celliers re-issue 1d grey-black. A right marginal example plateable as position [L8]. Despite the large margins, research conducted by Lars Jorgensen on the state of the flaws indicates this stamp was issued in 1883 and therefore the perforations must have been trimmed to resemble the 1870 Borrius imperforate 1d. Fine used with 3-ring numeral cancel ‘12’ of Middelburg (only introduced in 1873). SG 171
