I collect:
Italian stamps (since 1960 only if new);
Worldwide stamps issued before 1960, with particular interest in the former colonies;
... and all the ones I like
I am looking for my themes:

1949 UPU 75th anniversary
1935 Silver Jubilee Gerge V
1953 Coronation of Elizabeth II
British royal visits - (only until the early 60s)

I'd like to hear your opinion. Thank you all.

Katanga - 1961


Katanga province seceded from the Congo (ex-Belgian) Republic in July,1960, but established nations did not  recognize it as an independent state.  The UN declared the secession ended in Sept, 1961. The last troops surrendered Sept. 1963.  During the secession Katanga stamps were tolerated in the international mails, but the government authorizing them was not recognized.
