Sudan Definitive Stamps with Perfins

Sudan · 1951 · Various

A collection of used definitive stamps from Sudan, each featuring a perfin. Perfins, or 'perforated initials', are small holes punched through stamps by companies or official bodies to prevent theft and misuse by employees. The specific designs and denominations in this lot vary.

These stamps represent a common practice from the mid-20th century where large organizations used perfins for postage control before the widespread adoption of postage meters.
