ZIMBABWE RAILWAY NEWSPAPER STAMPS

The change of name to Zimbabwe brought a new design and an increase to 3c. No examples of this value are included in this group. A number of handstamps applied over the 3c were issued, increasing in value and starting around 1986, however only the 4c on 3c and 10c on 3c values are represented here.
