Because GB was the first country (and only country at the time) to issue postage stamps so therefore claimed this right!!!! :?

No Country Name - RSA

 

‘Who is the only country not to print their country name on their stamp and why?â€

 

Would say RSA. Just look at all the missing Black Printings (No RSA) on the modern RSA stamps.

read the answer

 

Jacques you me Did you not read the thread all the way through to see just how many bright buttons there are in the class. We will make true Philatelits boffins here. How about a few questions from you. Your knowledge surpasses the best of them

[Jacques Kuun 11]

Hello Angela

 

But very seriously….

 

When it comes to knowledge, the best Union stamps offered on BidorBuy since I have joined was without doubt your London Fine Used 2/6. Pity about the misunderstanding.

Who minds

 

Ag nee man Jacques what is a little banter between friends, we don't have misunderstandings disagreements aurguments nor fights we have debates, queries and banter. What is life about if one cant laugh at oneself. Life is too short to be concerned about who said what to who and about whom??? Am I making sense or talking nonsense. I do manage to find the odd gem now and again, thanks,but I wish others would recognise it. Unlike the many gems you have on offer I occasionally find a few.

[Jacques Kuun 11]

A way bit off topic

 

Hello Angela

 

Feel sorry for you

 

Your youth flew past…so quickly.

 

You are no longer a JUNIOR apprentice.

 

Regards

You are really top dog to have noticed and informing me. It just goes to show how unobservant I am. Thanks for the info, I will ry hard not to let the slight promotion go to my head. (For now) :!: :!: :!:
