Thanks Gene (DJCMH)! <br /><br />I suspected it wasn't actually a Ruanda-Urundi cancellation when I reviewed the blog post prior to publication yesterday,and thought it might be from another section of Tanganyika, but didn't know where.

Though R-U didn't have its own stamps until 1924, it did have the Belgian Occupation of German East Africa issues available. <br /><br />I *think* the cancellation on the 20c Giraffe is from Kondoa-Irangi in the north of Tanganyika, known for its ancient rock art paintings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondoa_Irangi_Rock_Paintings<br /><br />Gene aka DJ CMHGene/DJCMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289801853947188368noreply@blogger.com
