dc.description.abstractWhen one looks at the 5d. Malta stamp issued in 1889, listed in Gibbons' Catalogue as No. 32, one immediately notices, on the upper corners, the so-called Maltese eight pointed cross worn on the habit of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem. On the left side of the ornament are to be seen a shield bearing the eight pointed Maltese Cross and several other implements of war such as swords, lances of various types, as well as a drum. Such a drum used to be sounded in the streets of all the towns and villages of Malta to give the inhabitants the warning of an approaching enemy. This warning was called "ln-Naffra". [excerpt]en_GB
