These are three different "cinderella" stamps issued in 1952 with the country name of Maluku Selatan (So. Moluccas), which is a country in exile and is not recognized by the international community. They are so-called bogus stamps, which are private stamp issues and were not issued by any postal administration of the South Moluccas. The Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue notes: "It appears that the stamps of the so-called republic of South Moluccas were privately issued and had no postal use. Accordingly, they are not recognized as postage stamps." - (No catalog #'s assigned) -- UDARA = Air Mail
- All three are mint condition with original gum, technically printed in a diamond shape
