These aren't real stamps. The Republic of the South Moluccas (Indonesian: Republik Maluku Selatan, RMS), was a self-proclaimed republic in the South Moluccas (now part of Indonesia), founded April 25, 1950. A government-in-exile exists to this day in the Netherlands. In 1991 Johan Manusama the first president-in-exile, from 1966 to 1993, brought the RMS into the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation.

These are Bogus stamps, purely with collectors in mind.

The designs, I have to say, are rather attractive.

The original 17 overprinted stamps have a full listing in the SG Part 21 South-East Asia catalogue.

PS Kika. "could you help" is not a good thread title,
people who may wish to search for Maluka later on,
will have no guide to your post.

If you can, please change the title to
something like "Maluku Query" etc

Thanks, and again welcome :)

Maluku Selatan got ripped off, they should never have been included with Indonesia, they were promised independence. Just like Timor Leste - yet the disfunctional UN still managed to give belated independence to them.
