The Rhodesia 1913 Admiral postage stamps are a significant and collectible issue from the colonial era, introduced under the British South Africa Company. Featuring the profile of King George V in full naval uniform, these stamps are commonly referred to as the “Admirals” due to the king’s depiction. Issued from 1913 to 1924, they were produced in a variety of denominations and printed by Waterlow and Sons using high-quality engraving techniques. The series is notable for its wide range of printings, with numerous variations in color, paper type, perforation, and watermark, offering rich material for philatelists. The stamps were used for both domestic and international mail during a period of economic and political development in Rhodesia. Some rare printings and color errors are highly prized. The Admiral issue reflects the imperial pride of the time and stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and complexity of early 20th-century philately. Overseas courier price R900.
