BRUNEI
Brunei stamps printed by Format International Security Printers Ltd.
The Format Printers only produced three sets of stamps for this country. Namely one set when they first started printing stamps
and then a couple Royal Wedding issues. The competition for the contracts appear quite heavy during Format's time for Brunei.
The country only issued a few sets each year.

Scott #150-2, SG #166-8
1973 ROYAL WEDDING OF PRINCESS ANNE AND CAPTAIN MARK PHILLIPS

The $2 value exists with watermark inverted. It is a quite common variety and was purposely made.
Estimated 5,000 produced.
These were the last stamps printed by the Format International Security Printers Ltd. for Brunei.
