MBE 1922 part 3 - specimen stamps

The stamps were either overprinted diagonally in red or black. I prefer the red. Specimen stamps can also come with the "stop after exhibition" error.

About Me

myNBstamps: Originally from Sandakan, I have collected NB intermitently since chilhood but assembled the main part of my collection since arriving in the UK in 1975. I have always been fascinated by the use of 3 different written languages on a lot of NB stamps. Together with Labuan, this must be unique. I shall update my posts from time to time as I get further information. This is an evolving animal. I hope this blog is of some interest to everyone. I would like to aim some posts toward the novice in the hope that I could stir some interest in young Sabahans in this aspect of our history and culture. On the other hand, if my enthusiasm gets the better of me, my apologies for rambling on. This is a middling collection which is still growing but should be achievable by most with time and dedication. Pergo et Perago "I proceed I strive and I accomplish". Any original images and information here should only used with permission and this source acknowledged. There is still a certain etiquette in this day and age.
