Attractive collection split about 50:50 between Japanese Occupation issues with an array of Overprints and Handstamps, many identified with regard to the provinces where they were issued, a good number are used, some minor duplication; and Indonesia Provisional Issues array of Handstamps and Overprints with numerous blocks & a few sheets mostly unused with no gum as issued, again some minor duplication; a bit of tropicalisation but generally very fine. A fascinating basis for serious expansion.  (1000 approx) (Image1)
