The Malaya Study Group

THE MALAYA STUDY GROUP was formed in 1959 to study the stamps and postal history of the geographical area now covered by West Malaysia and Singapore. Since that time, the group has gone from strength to strength, and now has hundreds of members worldwide.

The Group is based in the United Kingdom. Meetings are held throughout the year with the majority being in London, but also in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Scotland, Worthing and Leicester. Specialist displays are given by individual members, or as a group where all are invited to contribute.

Auctions are held two or three times a year and include high-class specialist items. Participation in buying or selling is restricted to Group members only. The Group also operates a Packet Circuit (for UK members), an excellent way to fill those awkward gaps.

The highly respected society journal, The Malayan Philatelist, is distributed four times a year to all members. It contains a wealth of information and in depth articles on all aspect of Malayan/Malaysian philately, all members being encouraged to contribute.

Several specialist books have been produced by the MSG, and soon we will launch the massively updated SINGAPORE POST OFFICES AND REGISTRATION LABELS, 3rd Edition, illustrated and hardbound, by Len Stanway. Details will be on the MSG website.

Other publications include the definitive three volume work, Malaysia and The Federation of Malaya – their stamps and postal stationery by Len Stanway.

Government Gazettes, Straits Settlements and Native States, 568 pages A4 on a CD; it contains the distillate of these Gazettes, edited by Dr Nigel Tyre.

Malaya in the British Library Philatelic Collections, 160 pages plus 16 colour plates of unique treasures in the Collections.

By Susan McEwen. A4 hardback with dust jacket.

Not all members are specialists, and few collect everything. Interest spans such diverse topics as Censor Mails, Postage Dues, British Military Occupation, Malaysian Definitives, Postal History, Postal Stationery, Japanese Occupation, a specific State or reign etc.

Membership is ÂŁ15 per annum, which is excellent value for money!

For further information please contact The Membership Secretary: David Tett 16 Broadway, Gustard Wood,Wheathampstead, Herts, AL4 8LN, UK Email davidtett@aol.com or check out the website www.malayastudygroup.com where full details of the Group and representatives based in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia + USA will be found.

STAMPS & COVERS OF SOUTH EAST ASIA

FOREWORD Peter Cockburn Peter Cockburn had the good fortune to be selected for Voluntary Service Overseas in August 1967, having just graduated from University College, Oxford with a degree in botany. Even more fortunately his posting was to Malaysia where he rediscovered his interest in postage stamps realising that the 1949-52 issues of all the States were in fact all different, though similar in many respects. After collecting and refining various areas of Malayan postage stamps he came across revenue stamps and quickly disposed of much of the postage stamp collection in order to concentrate on the revenues. These beautiful stamps were of the highest quality, printed by the best printers in Great Britain but in many cases only very few stamps were actually printed. This makes many very scarce and in some cases unique to the collecting fraternity.

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

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

The Straits Settlements part of this sale has been exhibited internationally at Luoyang (China), London and Melbourne and the remainder brings together a comprehensive survey of the available material from all the Malay 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 Collectors Society, and member of The Revenue Society, Cinderella Stamp Club, Postal Order Society, Wealden Post Card Club, Persatuan Setem Malaysia, and is currently President of the newly amalgamated Mid Sussex Philatelic 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 other dreams for the future but wishes all purchasers as much delight and satisfaction from ownership of these beautiful and enigmatic stamps as he has enjoyed over many years.

S$1,000-1,200

Note: For several years there was complaint and concern that Stamp Duty was being evaded by use of adhesive stamps as it was seen that no record could be made of usage. The Government Gazette Notification of 13th October 1882 saw the re-introduction of Impressed stamps. 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 date although impressed on the stamp was repeated by the Stamp Office for added clarity.

1883 (21/24 Dec.) loan agreement showing good to fine $2 albino embossed handstamp with “STAMP OFFICE/PENANG” datestamp alongside; a little fragile along folds. Scarce.

A most unusual and interesting document illustrating, over a short four year period, the two separate types of revenue collection by impressed datestamp alone and latterly by adhesive stamp cancelled by impressed datestamp.

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

The Sarawak Specialists’ Society was formed in 1947 initially for the furtherance of the study of the stamps and postal history of Sarawak and then in 1956 Brunei was added and then North Borneo and Labuan in 1958, thus combining these philatelically inter-linked territories into 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 the beginner interested in these countries together with the opportunity to meet and engage with a good crowd of like-minded people with varied interests and different degrees of specialisation.

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

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

Usually 1 or 2 exchange packets per year are circulated among UK members who register an interest with the Packet Secretary; members also have access to the Society Library and can purchase 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 two days (Friday and Saturday) with displays by members and one of the two annual auctions on the 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 the AGM plus the second auction and again plenty of fellowship and member displays.

Why not check our website for full details www.s-s-s.org.uk or email rdgarbett@gmail.com (Hon Sec), a warm welcome for new members is always assured.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink Asia Pte Limited) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully.

SPINK ASIA’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1

2.2

3

means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot; means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with section 3.4; means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling); means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot; means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any Lot number in any catalogue; the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold; means the owner of the Lot being sold by us; Spink Asia Pte Limited, Spink and Son Limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies; Goods and Services Tax chargeable under the Goods and Services Tax Act (Cap 117A) of Singapore on the supply of goods and services in Singapore and the importation of goods into Singapore, and any similar replacement or additional tax.

All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the Lot.

3.3

Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.

3.4

Extensions – Stamps only 3.4.1

If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed lot or lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the first session of the auction. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.12 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.12 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly.

3.4.2

Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.

3.4.3

If we accept a request for an expert opinion or certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.

3.4.4

We will not accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.

3.4.5

Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.

3.4.6

It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.

3.4.7

If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence.

The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.

BEFORE THE SALE 3.1

Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.12 of these Terms and Conditions.

3.2

Catalogue descriptions 3.2.1

3.2.2

3.2.3

Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.

Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.

Other than as set out in clause 5.12, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters.

AT THE SALE 4.1

Refusal of admission Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.

by S$500 S$20,000 and up at Auctioneer’s Discretion

Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3

4.10 Bidding by the Spink Group 4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue.

4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal.

Bidding as Principal

4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again.

When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

4.4

4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller.

Commission Bids If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

4.5

4.6

Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank Plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually Singapore Dollars. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of Singapore Dollars bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

4.8

4.14 Return of Lot Once your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.12, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally exercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date.

5

AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1

Buyer’s Premium and other charges In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer price of each lot, a fee of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a surcharge for paying by credit card.

5.2

Goods and Services Tax and any other value added tax As we remain liable to account for GST on all the Lots, the Buyer shall, subject to Clause 5.3 below, pay any and all GST and any other value added tax chargeable on any payment to Spink.

5.3

GST Refunds In the event a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any GST refundable under the Goods and Services Tax Act (Cap 117A) of Singapore will not be payable by the Buyer to Spink.

5.4

Payment 5.4.1 You must provide us with your full name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which any payments to us will be made. You must pay the full amount due (comprising the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium and any applicable GST) within seven days after the date of the sale.

5.4.2 You will not acquire title to the Lot until all amounts due have been paid in full. This includes instances where special arrangements were made for release of Lot prior to full settlement.

Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7

4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the seller’s agreement.

On-line Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids on www.spink.com and Spink Live is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.

Video images At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

5.4.4

5.5

5.6

Invoices

5.8.3

If the Buyer requires delivery of the Lot to an address other than the invoice address, this will be carried out at the discretion of Spink.

Recommended packers and shippers If required our shipping department may arrange shipment as your agent. Although we may suggest carriers if specifically requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third parties concerned.

5.10 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 5.10.1 If you fail to make payment within seven days of your stipulated payment date set out in your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies: 5.10.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due;

Collection of Purchases

5.10.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you;

Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been paid in full. Buyers will be required to pay for their lots when they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within 7 days of the date of the sale, unless prior arrangements have been made with Spink. Without prior agreement, lots will not be released until cleared funds are received with regard to payments made by cheque.

We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the Lot is entirely at your risk. Our postage charges are set out at the back of the catalogue.

5.10.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your Lots or other property in the possession of the Spink Group until you have paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink Group, even if the unpaid amounts do not relate to those Lots or other property.

Following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink Group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us or the Spink Group, and pay any balance to you; 5.10.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink Group in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not you so direct; 5.10.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any bids.

5.10.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.10.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.10.2.2 to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20% seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make payment; 5.10.2.3 when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or 5.10.2.4 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit.

5.10.3 If you fail to collect within fourteen days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required 5.10.3.1 to pay a storage charge of S$5 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply.

5.10.3.2 you will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

5.11 Uses of default information If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions: 5.11.1 We reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have been settled; and 5.11.2 You consent to us disclosing details of such default to other auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default.

Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the default may rely on such information when deciding whether to enter into a transaction with you in the future.

5.12 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.12.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following conditions are met: 5.12.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the auction date, that in your view the Lot concerned is a Forgery; 5.12.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days, in the same condition as at the auction date; and 5.12.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims.

5.13.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such evidence.

5.12.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall have no claim for interest.

5.12.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

5.12.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process was used or in use at the date of the auction.

6
