The early Nossi-Bé overprints are costly and so the first real stamp is shown. The same applies to Diego-Suarez, but in this case, rather than a standard design, a set of four quaint, locally-produced stamps was issued (expensive too, so mine is probably one of the 'very good forgeries'). Mayotte started issuing stamps again in 1997 and the releases have included two Marianne overprints and an airmail.
