In their struggle for independence from Indonesia, the South Moluccan Republic has issued a number of stamps, many of which I hope will be displayed in this thread. The Richard C. Witt Cinderella Reference Collection has 13 pages of South Moluccas issues. A dealer-prepared catalog of the RMS stamps issued between 1949 and 1954; the valuations are his retail prices. If you have RMS stamps, please share them here. |

A set of 5 stamps was issued to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the RMS post office. Shown below are four stamps from that set. Missing is the green 1 rupiah stamp.   |

"Circle of posties" or "circle of Postmen" come in 3 colours, MAGENTA, GREEN, ORANGE. All 2.5 Rupiah, exist overprinted LUCHTPOST and POS UDARA ALL stamps exist imperforate. Arguably, POSTMEN : the first communications internet.  |

According to an annotation in the catalog I referenced in my initial post, the RMS currency units were renamed in 1952: "sen" became "kopeng" and "rupiah" was changed to "remas."

Thanks, Rod!
With luck, you'll also be able to fill in the blanks on this 1952 tropical birds set -- I lack the 1 and 1.5 rupiah values.
The six values from 75k and above were also issued as air mails with the overprint "Pos Udara). |

René ( renden), I have a small collection of these, mainly the MacArthur issues, because I inherited them from my father. For a country without legitimate postage stamps, they had some excellent designers, because they have lots of nice-looking stamps. I also really like some of the triangles shown earlier in this thread, especially the ones from bobby1948. |

I recall having some of these issues in my teenage years. I had no idea what to do with them. I had limited ressources to help identify. This was way before internet ago. I am not sure where they got to. I am sure if I go digging I might find them. Question is do I want to do that digging.
