🇲🇾 Pos Malaysia will issue 2 very long stamps and 1 even longer miniature sheet on 27 February 2018 on the subject of Rivers of Malaysia. The depicted rivers are the River Rajang in Sarawak, the Pahang River and the Kinabatangan River in Sabah. The miniature sheet is the longest sheet ever issued in Malaysia. This is a very interesting and attractive issue and I look forward to adding it to my collection. Rating:- *****.
🇬🇾 The Guyana Post Office Corporation has announced that it intends to issue 4 stamps in a miniature sheet,on 22 March 2018 to commemorate the Centenary of the birth of the former President of Guyana, Cheddi Jagan.

🇲🇿 In Blog 1181 I depicted the 2012 AICEP/Lubrapex 2012 - Writers of the Portuguese language stamp from Correios Moçambique, the postal service of Mozambique, which has been offered for sale recently on E Bay, and mentioned that I also had the same stamp on cover in my collection but that the stamps varied considerably in their colours. I now depict them both below and it can be seen that the difference between the two is considerable.
I own the Mozambique stamp. The poet stamp is weird as a lot of scanners cannot capture the color of it perfectly. It is quite brown.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information Austin. These locally produced real Mozambique stamps certainly are interesting.
DeleteWK.
ps Do you have any information about any other recent Mozambique issues not yet reported here?
