Labuan 1865 (4 Mar.) front to Manila, bearing India 1856-64 4a. black (3) in combination with Hong Kong 1862-63 8c. yellow-buff (3), all neatly cancelled with circle of dots (Type K1), showing superb "labuan" c.d.s. (Type D1) at foot alongside Manila "2" rate mark; a few faults in places though unique, being the only known combination franking of Hong Kong and India stamps used in Labuan. Photo Estimate S$ 80,000-100,000 Note: It is suggested that this item is either a triple rate cover which had the additional Hong Kong franking to ensure transmission via that route, as the 4a. Singapore rate was for both Hong Kong and Manila, or a six times rate with a mixed franking due to shortage of stamps
