Notes

EXAMPLE Genuine issued Somaliland stamps ended in 1960 when they gained their independence from being a British Protectorate and became part of Somalia. All stamps used for postage in Somaliland are Somalia stamps from July 1, 1960 forward. Somaliland has no authority to issue their own stamps and has no postal office since 1991 due to conflict with Somalia. All values of the Animals of Africa illegal stamp series exist overprinted "19th WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE CHILE 27.12.98-6.1.99" in Red on both perforated and imperforate varieties. Exist on fake covers. Avoid! This item was produced by an illegal stamp producer located in the UK.
