This elegant and quite classic definitive was issued in 1902 by the British colonial administration for the Malayan colony of Straits Settlements. The stamp depicts the classic portrait of King Edward. The colors are fresh and bright and the stamp is in excellent condition.
Used very fine.

To my valued clients - Between June 29th and July 15th, I will be outside of the US on vacation with my family, having only very limited access to email.

I apologize for any convenience this may cause, but hope that each of you has an opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved Summer Holiday!
