Some Labuan errors and varieties

 

I posted the following items in the Sarawak Journal recently. It might be helpful to share them here with readers who are not members of SSS. One of the most interesting aspect of the art of philately is the discovery and identification of errors, flaws and imperfections.

Missing Right Foot of Chinese Character




Missing Dot in Jawi Inscription




The stamp on the left with the dot present on has a subtle double surcharge. The inverted surcharge without the dot has the more uncommon 1mm setting in comparison to the 2mm setting on the left stamp. This is apparently quite uncommon on used stamps and yet to be seen on a cover.

Short Tail and Missing Stroke on the 1892-93 and 1894 10c



 No Dot in Jawi at Upper Left 6c


Specimen 1894 lithograph issue

1902 25c Error of Colour


Error of central vignette in black on right stamp only found CTO


1899 Double Overprint

Two sheets of hundred received a double surcharge.
