Sale number: S24003 The Raffles Collection Part II has a distinct emphasis on the KG VI era and is replete with multiples (especially Plate blocks), but all reigns are represented. The collector's main interest was in more complex areas such as KUT, Leeward Islands and Mauritius, with some notable rarities included. Following on from Part I, there is further coverage of the Far East, with missing colours on the Malaya 1965 Orchids, good Brunei and Sarawak and some excellent Singapore. It's an interesting sale, which should have something for most collectors, especially those with an interest in multiples.
