 * A British post office was established on Sark in 1858, with mail marked with a double arc handstamp. Later, Sark-inscribed CDSs were used to cancel mail.
 * In July 1940, Sark was occupied by German forces. This would continue until May 1945. In the meantime, Sark used Guernsey wartime issues.
 * In 1950, Commodore Shipping Co., having the mail contract for Sark, began issuing local post stamps.
 * In 1969, Guernsey began their independent postal service, ending Commodore's local post.
 * In 1980, Isle of Sark Shipping Co. took over the passenger and package service to and from Guernsey. They issued a set of 5 stamps; it is unclear if they were actually used as locals or not.
