I believe that the overprinted "Swazieland"stamps of the South African Republic (aka: Transvaal) stamps, is the only philatelic record of an entity that was a protectorate of a Boer Republic. <br /><br />Secondly, I always like to see the full official name of a country spelled out on a stamp. In this case, "Swaziland Protectorate" is boldly engraved on the King George V issue of 1933. Gina S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469263840026657884noreply@blogger.com
