Pahang
U5 1890 (16 May) U5 to London, bearing 1889 2c. strip of three and a pair all lightly cancelled by "PAHANG/P.O." h.s. (Proud Type K1) and showing Singapore transit c.d.s. (26 May); the Pahang stamps were disallowed at London (Pahang not being a member of the U.P.U. until 1915) and "5D/F.B." (deleted with blue crayon) and "10D/F.B." handstamps were applied. A delightful and very rare franking of exhibition quality. Photo
