Some colours of the following type have been shown previously. Two part sets are shown in the order I found them but I believe there should be some changes. The 30c value in the bottom picture should be in the top picture !! (for example) Stamps depict Sarawak Administrator Sir Charles Vyner Brooke. Stamps by De La Rue, Perf 14. Issues 1918 & 1922-23 (?)   |

Surcharge issues of 1923. Not only watermarks, perforations, paper, shades and colours on these Commonwealth stamps.......I also had to measure between the cancellation lines !!! Phew, it's only 10am and I am exhausted already !!   |

I like them too sherro, but they have to go. By the time I have finished sorting, I will be quite sad knowing that they must go. Sigh !  To cheer me up, here's some more Sarawak !  |

Here's a few more that I have sorted yesterday. The odd one or three have been seen previously. I'll put them up now because soon they will not be with me any longer.........hopefully ! Below are the issues from 1889-92 surcharged on the De La Rue stamps from 1888 showing Sir Charles Brooke. SG#24 and (below) SG#22,23,25   The bottom three have some toning issues so I kept them separate from the others. The pity is they do have value and that is the problem I have found with sorting collections, especially this particular Commonwealth collection. Such is life. Londonbus1 |

One of the missing types from the same series as those in the previous post. This one is SG#26a, the 'no stop after 'c'' variety.  |

These were a break from the traditional KGV era stamps.
