Japan, occupation of Malaya. ★★/★/⊙. Extraordinary collection of these ever popular area for the occupation years 1942-45 with 100s of stamps housed in one volume. One of the highlights is an imperf pair of the 1943 ploughman 8 and 15cts, hardly ever seen. Other areas include KGVI o/ps on Straits Settlements including Penang inverted, etc. Please note, as is standard with Japanese Occupation, the mint will have uniform tropicalisation on reverse, however this collection has hardly any toning on the front of the stamps. The next section consists of Trengannu with various different coloured chops, black, green or red, as well as the roman alphabet 'Dai Nippon'. Then Negri Sembilan with values to $1 used, again noting that much of the used is on piece and includes multiples. Then follows a further good range of Penang, straight-line chops, as well as horizontal pairs, all unchecked for varieties and different settings. This pattern continues with Selangor to high values, Johore and Malayan Union postage dues, etc. While much has been identified with SG numbers, there is occasionally unlisted for the specialist to research. So much more here than this outline description. If you are looking for a very good range with a huge upside, this will be for you. Much recommended, ideal for the specialist, dealer or collector.
