Zululand is one of the 11 district municipalities ("districts") of KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. From 1888 to 1896, Zululand issued 24 stamps. Of those 24 stamps, I have 3 of them.

Zululand was annexed to Natal in December 1897 and separate stamps were discontinued June 30, 1898.

I will list the three I have and if anyone has any, please share with the rest of us. Thanks.

OK, here is what I have

Unfortunately, I don't have access to my hi-res scans at the moment (but if anyone wants to see one or more let me know and I will post them next week)

This is the first set that was overprinted on stamps of Great Britain. (I only have the first 6 of the 11 stamp set)

Next to the Natal overprints

I only have 12a (the variety with the period after the Zululand overprint.

The final set included 10 stamps of which I have the first 7. These were not overprinted as with previous issues, rather were printed on a common design of British colonial stamps in a key plate style, where a blank space was left for the colony name. When the stamps were to be printed, they would add the name (in this case Zululand) when it was printed.
