Negri Sembilan. 1941 Unissued 8c scarlet, the unique rejoined unused pair without gum, minor perf toning and a little paper adhering to the reverse of the left stamp, otherwise fine and still the only examples of this stamp without Japanese Occupation overprint to have been discovered. This stamp was sent to Malaya in 1941 but had not been issued when the Japanese invaded, and the stamps were therefore overprinted by the Japanese before being put on sale. Stanley Gibbons mentions this unoverprinted stamp in a footnote, simply stating "unoverprinted specimens result from leakages". However the status of this stamp is similar to the unissued 1941 8c scarlet of Selanger which S.G. also state "results from leakages" but price at å£1,200, and the 1941 Selanger $5 which was only issued overprinted by the Japanese but is known unoverprinted and priced by S.G. at å£180 in a footnote. Other unissued 1941 stamps of Trengganu are also priced in footnotes by Stanley Gibbons. One complete sheet of 100 stamps existed for the unissued 8c scarlet of Selanger which S.G. price at å£1,200; this unissued 8c Negri Sembilan stamp is fifty time rarer. An important and unique unissued pair. Photo included on Front Cover. (Image1)
