Serbmit Sirapayruam France Arthur Maury Philatelic Cinderella The only inscription on this odd stamp is Serbmit Sirapayruam. That had me (and Google) stumped -- until I tried reading it backwards: Timbres Maury a Paris. Arthur Maury was a prominent 19th Century French Stamp Dealer. That's his portrait on the stamp. Surely this stamp was produced as advertising for his stamp business.

General Info
Herm (Guernésiais: Haerme, ultimately from Old Norse arms “arm”, due to the shape of the island, or Old French eremite “hermit”) is one of the Channel Islands and part of the Parish of St Peter Port in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It is located in the English Channel, north-west of France and south of England. It is 2.183 kilometres (1.4 mi) long and under .873 kilometres (0.5 mi) wide; orientated north–south, with several stretches of sand along its northern coast. The much larger island of Guernsey lies to the west and Jersey to the south-east, and the smaller island of Jethou is just off the south-west coast. Herm was first discovered in the Mesolithic period, and the first settlers arrived in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Many tombs from that period remain today, the majority in the north of the island. The island was annexed to the Duchy of Normandy in 933, but returned to the English Crown with the division of Normandy in 1204. It was occupied by Germany in the Second World War and the scene of Operation Huckaback, but was largely bypassed. Herm is currently managed by Herm Island Ltd, formed by Starboard Settlement, who acquired Herm in 2008, following fears during the sale of the island that the 'identity' of the island was at threat. Herm's harbour is on its west coast. There are several buildings of note in the vicinity including the White House, St Tugual's Chapel, Fisherman's Cottage, "The Mermaid" pub and restaurant, and a small primary school with about eight children. During a busy summer season, up to 100,000 tourists visit the island, arriving by one of the catamaran ferries operated by the Trident Charter Company. Cars are banned from the island, as are bicycles; quad bikes and tractors used for staff and luggage transport respectively are allowed.

Although the Republic of South Moluccas did not issue its own postage stamps, several stamps bearing the country's name can be found. They are so-called bogus stamps, which are private stamp issues and were not issued by any postal administration of the South Moluccas. There are three distinct bogus stamp issues of the Republic of South Moluccas: Overprints Stamp issues of the exile government in the Netherlands Stamps from the Österreichische Staatsdruckerei (Austrian National Print Office), which were ordered and sold by New York stamp dealer Henry Stolow. Overprints In 1950, 17 stamps of the Dutch East Indies and Indonesia were overprinted with "Republik Maluku Selatan". Many philatelists believe that the stamps could have been used locally. However, the majority assumes that they are stamp forgeries.

November 1935 S.A.P. - Outrage over the Union Voortrekker issue being overprinted S.W.A. Voortrekker Stamps Overprinted Yet another attack is being made by the Government on the pockets of stamps collectors by the unnecessary and uncalled for overprinting of the Voortrekker stamps with the letters SWA. After the long time which has elapsed since the first issue in 1933 of these stamps it is certainly very strange that they should only now be made available for use in South West Africa, and it is doubtful whether a very large proportion of the residents in that territory have any desire or inclination to pay a 50 per cent, increase in postage rates in order to contribute towards the erection of a memorial to the memory of the Voortrekkers in which many of them cannot have any interest. The position probably is that the Government finds that these stamps have not been selling too well (one certainly very seldom sees them on correspondence particularly from the country districts) and has therefore considered that it is desirable that a fresh impetus should be given to their sale, especially to stamp collectors, by means of this overprint. It is unfortunately a fact that no amount of fulmination against this action on the part of the Government will prevent collectors from acquiring these stamps, but nevertheless it is greatly to be regretted that the Government has found it necessary to augment the funds for such a worthy object by such unworthy means.

These bilingual South African Union Savings stamps were sold at the Post Office for the purchase of Union Loan Certificates. Pairs described alternately in English and Afrikaans were printed on upright single springbok head watermark and perforated 14,5 x 14. Green and gold colours were used on white background for the vignette which shows a ship in rough seas. A bilingual card shown as U.L.C. 40, was provided and when filled with 21 savings stamps of 9d each, the holder could exchange it for a Union Loan Certificate representing the value of 15/9d. Postage stamps were not accepted if affixed to this form and should the form be lost, no refund could be claimed. The Post Office had printed 80000 cards for distribution between 1941 and 1942. The unfolded size of this card is 20,5 x 14 cm and on the reverse a slogan reading “Make a gift of a complete card to a friend” is printed.
