FOREWORD

Peter Cockburn

Peter Cockburn had the good fortune to beselected for Voluntary Service Overseas in August1967, having just graduated from UniversityCollege, Oxford with a degree in botany. Evenmore fortunately his posting was to Malaysia wherehe rediscovered his interest in postage stampsrealising that the 1949-52 issues of all the Stateswere in fact all different, though similar in manyrespects. After collecting and refining various areasof Malayan postage stamps he came across revenuestamps and quickly disposed of much of thepostage stamp collection in order to concentrateon the revenues. These beautiful stamps were ofthe highest quality, printed by the best printers inGreat Britain but in many cases only very fewstamps were actually printed. This makes manyvery scarce and in some cases unique to thecollecting fraternity.

For revenue collectors stamps ideally need to beused on documents and there are many examples in this sale. Also included are memorable and uniqueitems like the 1882 revenue imperforate proof set, the 1887 Judicial 2c unissued, and several of the 1950revenue sets on specimen sheets ex the Post Office.

With his local connections Peter has personally discovered some very interesting material some of whichhas come from the alley ways of Penang as well as from the great sales of this type of material includingthe collections of Wood, Koh, Hsiong, Springbet and Chellapan.

The Straits Settlements part of this sale has been exhibited internationally at Luoyang (China), London andMelbourne and the remainder brings together a comprehensive survey of the available material from all theMalay States as well as the modern issues of Malaysia and Singapore.

Peter is an active contributor to the philatelic scene and has been Chairman of the Malaya Study Group,President of the Sarawak Specialists Society, a committee member of the King George VI CollectorsSociety, and member of The Revenue Society, Cinderella Stamp Club, Postal Order Society, Wealden PostCard Club, Persatuan Setem Malaysia, and is currently President of the newly amalgamated Mid SussexPhilatelic Society. He has recently been appointed a National Judge.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London, where this collection was displayed earlier this year,and he is an elected member of Council.

Peter has decided to focus more on his collections of BMA Malaya and North Borneo and indeed otherdreams for the future but wishes all purchasers as much delight and satisfaction from ownership of thesebeautiful and enigmatic stamps as he has enjoyed over many years.

Note: For several years there was complaint and concern that Stamp Duty was being evadedby use of adhesive stamps as it was seen that no record could be made of usage. TheGovernment Gazette Notification of 13th October 1882 saw the re-introduction of Impressedstamps. This could only be done at Stamp offices and hence duty could be properly accounted.Existing presses were only able to produce albino impressions without colour. The datealthough impressed on the stamp was repeated by the Stamp Office for added clarity.

THE SARAWAK SPECIALISTS’ SOCIETYWebsite: http://www.s-s-s.org.uk

The Sarawak Specialists’ Society was formed in 1947 initially for the furtherance of the studyof the stamps and postal history of Sarawak and then in 1956 Brunei was added and thenNorth Borneo and Labuan in 1958, thus combining these philatelically inter-linked territoriesinto an integrated Society.

The Society is a must for anyone interested in the philately and postal history of Sarawak, North Borneo, Brunei or Labuan, providing a mine of information for the specialist or thebeginner interested in these countries together with the opportunity to meet and engage witha good crowd of like-minded people with varied interests and different degrees ofspecialisation.

The Society has members throughout the world with Vice-Presidents based in North America,Australia and Sarawak who form a link between members living in those areas and themembership in the UK.

The subscription is £15 per year for which you get the quarterly Sarawak Journal, a magazinewith articles written by the members with something of interest in each issue for collectors ofany of the four countries covered.

We also hold two auctions (Spring and Autumn) with between 500 and 600 lots, although theauctions are held in the UK, catalogues will be sent, on request, to members throughout theworld who can bid with confidence by post or sell surplus materials in the knowledge that theauctioneer will be a knowledgeable fellow member (the current auctioneer has been in postfor 35 years).

Usually 1 or 2 exchange packets per year are circulated among UK members who register aninterest with the Packet Secretary; members also have access to the Society Library and canpurchase publications and CD’s of back numbers of the journal.

The Society meets normally twice a year, once in the spring, which is normally held over twodays (Friday and Saturday) with displays by members and one of the two annual auctions onthe Saturday, plus an opportunity to meet members with similar interests.

We meet again in the autumn, this time for three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) for theAGM plus the second auction and again plenty of fellowship and member displays.
