Single Circle R.O Postmark
Of all the various ZAR/Transvaal postmarks, I have found this particular postmark a rather scarce and elusive postmark, certainly not often seen on postal items. I am showing some example from my collection. I will be delighted to see more examples from other towns.

I am not a specialist ZAR collector. I collect what pleases. Recently I found some really good quality ZAR at a show but I failed to make a scan of them before I sent them off to a dealer and now they have disappeared into the philatelic ether. You will love them and may yet get a chance to acquire them. I believe I owe you a few ZAR postmarks. I will look around for some more examples. In the meantime I offer the following. I am guessing that this will be a bit disappointing to you but it is what I was able to find in the short time I had to look. FYI, I did my National Service in 'Pokkiesdorp' in 1969 so have some small interest in its postal history, which is huge. It is the reverse of the cover below that is of most interest. Or maybe not. It is in Ralph Putzel's 'Postmarks of SA....' but not properly listed.

Thank you Steve, a very fine cover indeed - I will be very grateful to receive it, thank you. Perhaps the dealer would still have those ZAR postmarks?
