This 5 stockbook page lot of British Asian stamps is packed with value! Countries include Brunei, Burma, Ceylon, Labuan, North Borneo, Maldives, Malaya & states, Straits Settlements, Sarawak, Hong Kong, and more! Full breakout is not possible, but highlights are noted below.
Classics and Modern era. Most of the MNH items are modern Hong Kong, but there are a few others (Sabah, Maldives). Maldives MH stamps are generally V/LH. Most of the value is in classic Ceylon, but Malaya & states are good, too. Many varieties have been identified and noted. Included are at least the following:

If you collect early Maldives, you'll want to run this by your want list. :> (And mention to me if you're looking for a lot of Maldives MNH souvenir sheets, because I have a BUNCH of those sitting around here as well... :)
Altogether, the total SCV of this lot is at LEAST $1080, and probably closer to $1200 once the lesser value items are totted up. As always, walking wounded are called out (written) on the stock sheets, and not included in SCV estimates. No junk! See my reviews if you wonder about the quality of the duplicate stamps I'm selling off.
ETA: PRICE JUST LOWERED! Due to high interest in this listing. :>
