WWII Japanese Occupation Officials. VF mint OG WWII Japanese occupation postal seal overprints on the $2.00 and $4.00 denominations from the 1934-41 Sarawak set (Scott #130 and 132) and on four different 1939 North Borneo postage dues (Scott #J50-53). Formerly considered revenues, these are now understood to have been used as official letter seals. The overprint says "fu kan shi" or"letter sealing pape". These are listed in the"Standard Catalogue of Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei" of which we have an older 1997 (23rd) edition. The Sarawak are listed in this catalogue as #SJ22 and SJ24 @ RM85.00; the North Borneo quartet is a complete set listed as #NJR4-NJR7 @ RM480.00. Don’t forget to take into account the fact that these prices are 25 years old! Total Malayan catalogue value RM565.00=
