This classic issue comes from the first period of Burma’s separate postal administration, created by applying a bold “BURMA” overprint to existing India King George VI definitive stamps. The underlying design features the crowned portrait of KGVI in a rich orange-brown shade, originally denominated 2 Annas 6 Pies. Used examples like yours are especially valued for their clear postal history, marking the early transitional phase following Burma’s administrative separation from British India in 1937. A desirable item for collectors of Burma, British Commonwealth, and overprint varieties.
