This striking stamp from the Republic of Chad features a uniformed military standard-bearer proudly holding the national tricolor flag of blue, yellow, and red. Behind him appears a stylized map outline of Chad, emphasizing national identity and sovereignty. Issued as a “Franchise Militaire” stamp, it was intended for military postal privileges—an interesting sub-category for thematic collectors. Designed by J. Combet and printed by SO. GE. IM, the stamp stands out for its clean engraving and patriotic composition. A desirable item for collectors of African nations, military philately, and post-colonial issues.
