Of course, turtles are well known on Pulau Penyu off the coast near Sandakan but there is no post office there.<br />The post office in Kuala Penyu first opened on 9.7.1973 There is a mobile post office (PPB) which ran from June 1984 to July 1989. I would love a PPB cover but they should be very rare. It is unlikely there are any to be found in Italy or UK. You would need some good local contacts in Sabah or Malaysia to find them for you. If you prefer contemporary postal history perhaps the Kuala Penyu post office can help. You may get some details by googling POS SABAH. They may be able to arrange for a cover to be sent to you.<br />Turtles were depicted on Malaysian stamps in the 1979 National Animal Series as the $1 stamp. And also in 1990 there was a set of 4 turtle stamps issued. It would be really really cool if you can get these stamps on cover with a Kuala Penyu postmark!myNBstampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802907145911826126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053488102091758272.post-38440502499488599162013-03-10T16:35:07.545-07:002013-03-10T16:35:07.545-07:00Hallo, I'm looking for any info about Kuala P...Hallo, I'm looking for any info about Kuala Penyu post office.
