SARAWAK 1871 1c ON 3c (2) ON COVER WITH STRAITS 1c(2) + 3c ON 32c(2) WITH ONLY "SINGAPORE" C.D.S.'s; Fine 2 Apr. 1895 env. to London with Star its 1c Green (one with corner fault) and 3c on 32c Red (2) placed around Sarawak 1871 1c on 3c all tied by mainly v. fine "SINGAPORE" cds's with a further strike alongside; the Sarawak stamps only just tied; with London 29 April backstamp. Curious cover presumably from Sarawak but posted in Singapore, but the correct 2c+8c rates for a Combination cover. Very attractive. Cross Reference: COMBINATION COVERS, MALAYA - STRAITS SETTLEMENTS
