British Commonwealth / South Africa - Stunning "Inter-Provincial" Postmark Collection. A well researched and mounted collection of 185 postmarks on stamp / stamp and piece nearly arranged on Scott album pages and a stocksheet. Collected for "inter-provincial" usage during the August 1910 to August 1913 period when the Union of South Africa was formed, before definitive Union of South Africa stamps were available. During this time stamps of Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Orange River Colony and Transvaal could be used in any part of the South African Union. Fascinating material, with a history lesson at each turn of the page. Estimate =

Burma - Japanese Occupation - First intoxicating group of 21 different "Peacock" overprints on Burmese stamps and officials. Nice condition and lightly hinged and a couple are "signed" by the "President". Don’t let appearances fool you as the footnote in Gibbons states: "Collectors are warned against forgeries of these overprints, often in the wrong colours or on the wrong values". This lot includes denominations, officials and revalues for which these overprints were never recorded. There are double overprints (including in different colour ink), inverts, one overprinted in red on the gum side, and black on the other. We are presuming that these are all forgeries and are a bargain at less than $10.00 apiece. With the original album page. Estimate =
