G'day Rhinelander,
That is a nice stamp - I was lucky enough to be given about 30 or more of those..
Do you collect fish as a topic ?
Cheers

No Steve, I do not collect fish or really any topical stamps. This one was just sitting on my desk and I thought to participate in your thread. It appears marlins are as illusive as onions as subject matter on stamps. The interesting aspect of the Mauritius stamp is that it is postmarked from Remscheid, Germany.

I'm sure that there are far more marlin/sailfish/swordfish stamps than onion stamps. Another forum has a 5 page thread of such stamps.

Yes jill.. Hundreds of 'em about from lots and lots of countries.. Where is that other forum ?
About the postmark .. How do you get a Mauritius stamp cancelled in Germany ?
Cheers
