1900 1D MACHADADORP BRIEFKAART ARMS CARD PRINTING - PRISTINE IN SOUTH AFRICA

1900 1d Machadadorp Briefkaart Arms Card printing - pristine mint - scarce  'On 18 July 1900 the ZAR's distributor of stamps, H Henning asked Postmaster Van Alphen - who was at Nelspruit at that stage (following Boer retreat from Pretoria) to authorise the printing of 5 000 1d postcards.  Paul Van Zeyl who authored the chapter comments - 'These cards are also said to have been sold by the post office in a pre-cancelled form; pristine mint cards appear to be scarce..' See Matthews - Transvaal Philately - Pages 136 and 137. My recommendation is that all stamps be sent via  Registered Post  as I will not be responsible for those sent without Registered tracking. International rates will be confirmed based upon the destination country.
