Hi Brechinite,
These are from the Japanese Occupation of North Borneo, SG J40 etc.
Thanks.
The one place I never looked!!
For a stamp to be from a Japanese Occupied country, does it have to have an overprint?
I have some Japanese stamps that have the dangling tree branches, are they Occupied stamps?
Hi postalpicker,
These are both regular Japanese stamps.
The one on the left is from 1946 and the either one is a commemorative stamp from 1936.
Many Japanese occupation stamps are overprints on Japanese stamps or on stamps of the occupied country but there were also quite a few brand new designs.
Japanese Occupation of Where?
