According to Stanley Gibbons, the 16 cent value with a green overprint was not issued until 1902. Perhaps you need to look further on in your Y & T. |

And by the way, the inscriptions aren't in Arabic: it's Malay written in a modified Arabic/Persian script, known as Jawi |

Does the Y&T catalogue explain that stamps with the black bars cancellation are remainders? These are priced separately in SG. The 16c example (SG116) is priced (2011) at £130 used and £2.50 cancelled with the black bars. If anyone is buying these issues, take care not to pay the used prices! |

 Hi to all Here are a couple of Labuan stamps where the surcharge has been placed over the postage instead of on the inscription "The state of North Borneo" Has any-one else seen copies of this variety. Regards Horamakhet |

Both are listed in Gibbons:
The 12 cent is SG 95 - see the footnote after SG 89-97.
The 18 cent is SG 99 - see the footnote after SG 100. |
