North Borneo Silam 1897 (c.) piece bearing 1894 1c. upper left corner block of four cancelled with a good strike of the circular "post office/Lion/elopura" intaglio seal h.s. (Type D1) in blue, probably a philatelic production after the office moved to Lahad Datu in 1897. Photo Estimate S$ 400-500 Note: After Elopura became Sandakan, the mail bag seal became obsolete so when Silam Post Office was opened, circa 1887, it was issued to that office provisionally until the new seal was supplied
