AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original postmark or date stamp
Belgian Congo
Luluabourg 1

Steel stamp, wooden handle.
Height stamp with handle 15cm.
Print diameter approximately 30mm Ø.
In used and working condition.
Patina appropriate for the age.

Date engraved: 1972, so apparently made after independence (1960).
Did the place name change to Kananga after the Belgian Congo period? Was Luluabourg's name changed later? Did they continue to use the stamp for a long time afterward?

The number clips can become stuck due to dried stamp ink.

The second photo is mirrored.
