Transkei

Fishing Flies (mint set shown here, but available as very fine used, ie VFU)
There were five series of these Fishing Flies sets, issued between 1980 and 1984. Transkei has a strong fishing fly industry, and these stamps show what is produced there. I have covers (FDCs) and first day sheets with information on the flies, for the 3rd, 4th and 5th issues. The First Day Sheets are card, 14cm by 20cm, and would look good in a frame.

These sets are available as first day covers, or first day sheets, or I can simply cut around the stamps from covers and sheets, and send them to you on paper, which would cost you less, and would give you a very fine used (VFU) set with FDC quality postmarks. The main reason for the covers and sheets being more expensive than the sets alone is the cost of postage - the sheets especially require a large envelope and a fair amount of stiffening in the packaging to ensure that they arrive safely.
