NATALINTRODUCTION TRANSVAAL COGH & ORANGE FREE STATE (O R C) PERFINS It is now many● years ● ●since ● theDOTS first listing INDICATE of the Perfins ofPROVINCE South Africa & Provinces was produced by the Perfins Club of America (in their World Perfin Catalogue). And it must be noted that 90% of this update is there original work. During these intervening years there has been new information which has come to light, and although I have used the original perfin catalogue for some years my feelings are that it could be simplified and improved upon. So I have decided to make up my own version of the catalogue and produce it with an alphabetical numbering system for the different dies, This Section One, deals with the Four Different Provinces pre 1910 as in the map above. A coloured dot system is used for the different Provinces. You will see from the map what colours represent which Provinces. There is also user information alongside the Perfin image. A single letter "M" after the die number indicates a multi headed die. A small case "m" indicates a monogram die. ● NATAL, ● TRANSVAAL, ● COGH, ● ORANGE FREE STATE, A typical example is shown here: - In use: Dates: 3-9-1909, 2-9-1912, Issues: Standing Hope, Seated hope, EDVII, Ident: Cape Times Ltd, Cape Town.
