Very nice and very scarce indeed, the republic coat of arms is a British made example which is always nice to see, the RPR was part of the SAMIF and was originally raised in the Cape upon the 18th of December 1899, it expanded very considerably in 1901 and was disbanded after Vereeniging upon the 30th of June 1902in Johannesburg.
