Straits Settlements cancelled with D14 Killer

Dear all

I was just wondering, if anyone can tell me, where were all straits
settlements stamps cancelled, when they are struck with a "D14" killer?

Can't be Singapore, Penang or Malacca I think? They are B172, B109 and B142
respectively.

Any help is appreciated

G'day Alfred,
it is a Penang cancellation.

It is the Singapore D14 Duplex obliterator.

I can send further info if required.

Rodney:

I am puzzled by your answer.

I looked at the site in question and found the D14 killer
in combo with the Singapore date cancel.

Also, I found the D17 killer in combo with the Penang
date cancel.

So far so good.

You concur that D14 is a Singapor cancel, yet
you also state D14 killer is a PENANG cancel

Was this a TYPO for D17?

On page http://www.stamp2.com/articles/specialised/tss/2.asp
the D14 Singapore duokex cancel is clearly shown (also on cover).
The notation under the duplex is in ERROR when it identifies it
as a PENANG duplex. It is obviously a Singapore DUPLEX.

On page http://www.stamp2.com/articles/specialised/tss/5.asp
we see the Penang D17 duplex cancel on cover.

G'day Blair,
No not a typo.
I am happy to stand corrected, however, as I see it.

Penang, Malacca and Singapore became a crown colony.
The D14 obliterator with "Singapore" on it was issued
to Singapore and Penang.
Therefore the D14 could be either, and (probably) be identified
by the strikes.
I meddle around the fringes of the Straits setts, but certainly no
authority,
I'll duck back to the site, to see if what I understand is correct.

Probably lack of good sentence structure, I meant it to be the Singapore
duplex
that also could be a Penang strike.

Well if this is indeed the case, I'll adjust my records
I had it down as Penang and Singapore under D14 numerals.

I reckon that D14 on the java cover still reads Singapore!

I am still open to be convinced.

Robson Lowe concurs: "The normal British duplex type in general issue
with D14 and D17 in the upright heavy barred oval for Singapore and
Penang respectively. None was issued for Malacca."

Gracias Amigo,
...and thanks Mr. Lowe.
I'll adjust my records forthwith.
