Malacca is on the western coast of the Malay peninsulsar. It was one of the Straits Settlements which joined the Federation of Malaya in February 1948. In September 1963 it became part of Malaysia, but stamps continued to be issued inscribed Malacca between 1965 and 1986.

Occupation
Scott [1] lists occupation stamps specifically for Malacca issued (obviously) before its first normal postage stamp, a series of Straits Settlements overprints, Sc-N1 to N14, though noting that N9, N13 and N14 were "not regularly issued. The handstamp used covers four stamps. The example shown is from a block of post due labels, found on ebay and selling for $4,000 expertised.
