🇵🇬 Post PNG (postal service of Papua New Guinea) -
2022, 2023 and 2024 issues (see Blogs 2522 and 2533).
Discussion on Stampboards has partly clarified the dates of issue of the more recent issues from Post PNG. However some doubts remain. A comment by dwyoung52 states that the Nadzab Tamadachi International Airport was definitely issued on 2 October 2023. The commentator received the items making up the issue at the time.
On 1 July 2024 dwyoung52 also reported that, “The stamp sets for 2022 Freshwater fish and the 2023 sets for War shields, Canoe splashboards and Laulau fruit trees have been printed but not released as the sheetlets and souvenir sheets associated with all four issues have still not been printed due to in-house issues. This was the information initially supplied back in January 2024 by PNG Post and was reconfirmed last month as still being the case. PNG Post did receive the freshwater fish back in July 2023 but I have no information about date of issue. The issue date for the Nadzab Tamadachi International Airport was 2 October 2023”..
After I drew dwyoung52’s attention to the K6.90 values of the Freshwater Fish, Canoe splashboards and War shields all being featured used on cover on the internet shop site of Steven Zirinsky he responded, “When I saw those stamps on Zirinsky’s website I contacted PNG Post re. These stamps be used when supposedly they had not been released. Didn’t get an answer but was offered the opportunity to purchase the stamp sets for War shields, Canoe splashboards and Laulau Fruit Trees which have been printed.
It seems therefore that we may summarise the recent release and availability of Post PNG issues thus -
