Malaya-Trengganu stamps were issued beginning in 1910, but my collection begins with the 1921 issues. The 1921 set is based on a design showing Sultan Suleiman. The 1949 set shows Sultan Ismail. The 1921 set includes the basic issues which are on chalk paper plus the ordinary paper printings which occurred just prior to the Japanese invasion at the end of 1941. The 1950 set has some color shades based on the reprints that were created before it was replaced in 1957. For a more detailed study of these stamps and explanations to how to spot the striated paper, see the two web pages devoted to Pahang in the Index of Stamp Web Sites page.

The pages scanned are from my collection, and are identified by the Gibbons and Scott numbers. Commonwealth numbers are included for the later issues that were listed in the Catalog. The page images were scanned in a larger size and at a higher resolution so you can more easily see the details used in viewing them. Feel free to select the page and let it download to your screen and save it to your hard drive for viewing. If you are using a PC, selecting the page will typically open it in Microsoft Photo Viewer (or whatever you are using as your default). From there you can enlarge the size for more close-up viewing. If you are using a phone - go find a PC or a Mac. The images are 1200 pixels wide and you will go mad trying to view them on your phone.

Please be patient if it takes a few minutes for each page to load.
