Item Description
NOTE: light thin, but good appearance. Nice full date 2 JUL 1896 BRUNEI cds. Scott #A2, catalog value $17.50. Stanley Gibbons #2, catalog value €15.00 in 2010.The 1895 Star and Crescent issue is often considered a local, as it was not valid for postage outside of Brunei. Long recognized by Stanley Gibbons, Scott now lists it in its "Classic" catalog. A 1973 booklet by famous philatelist Robson Lowe (3rd photo) states that "erroneously, these stamps have been called "locals", but the Star & Crescent stamps are the first general issue of the Brunei Post Office"
