Java. 20 Sen J26 cancelled with the very rare PANINGGARAN .2.7.47.7. (vNV. RR)

Java. Pencak postcard JK-10B showing a partly strike of the very rare delivery house (bestelhuis) DOEKOEHDOENGOES (vNV.071, RRR), sent via Koetoardjo 8.2.46. to Djakarta

Communist insurgency of Madioen in September 1948. Postcard 10 sen KPI.JK-30 with additional 30 sen KPI.J27 on 11 Sep 1948, a week before the insurgency starts, written by a member of the Chizbulloh in Manisredjo near Madioen. He asks the post office official to help him to send the card to the addressee. No postal marks, but the sender has drawn in a creative way with violet pencil a circle 'CHIZBULLOH / MOBILLE BRIG / 11-8-48' with left and right of the date bar a crescent moon and star of the Islam, also a cresent moon and star on the right and in between in frame a censor mark 'TELAH DITILIK OLEH / Himpunan Opsir Muslim'. Interesting text, historical and in our opinion genuine. Exhibition piece!

Java. Revenues. Military emergency revenues (?) of 0.10, 0.25 and 0.50 in pairs with gutters, no gum. See: Ramkema/Vosse (2008), p.202 Nos. RJP-13 1/3. To our knowledge these revenues must be quite rare, and never offered by us before

Madoera. 7½ Cent Dancer in pair cancelled with the extremely rare BLOETO (vNV. RRR). Only a 5 in the date bar is visable. Opened on 1-12-1944, cancellation could be during the Japanese occupation as well. Maybe the only copy known

Scarce item!
