ahh thank you
& you are absolutely right
for those are tripoints on that map stamp
but i guess you missed the 3 earlier stamp findings
of which this latest mention was just a shorthand summary
& which contained actual illustrations of tripoint localities
rather than maps depicting the tripoints
a tripoint monument
a desert scene
& a mountain top
for actual tripoint scenes rather than maps are the rarity that was
being sought in this case
perhaps i will have to trot them all out again so you will see what i
meant
maps that show tripoints are of course very common
both on & off stamps
