Further details
Note: It is probable that only two panes of sixty of the dull blue shade were surcharged with the second setting, it is believed to replace those taken for Post Office records. This "cnet" error is doubly unique as not only is this the only recorded example on this shade but does not have the original "en" of "cent" scratched ot. See pages 67 and 68 of the supplement to "The Stamps and Postal History of Sarawak" by L.H. Shipman.
