Bahwalpur overprints on India. I have this book, in case you're
interested.


neither a lender, nor borrower be but thanks Tony.

I also have a small accumulation


I can imagine, probably thousands I'll check at the Perth Central
Library
on Wednesday to see what is on offer.
I have been meaning to go for some months, I'd very much like to
belong to those who can read the online JSTOR journals, there is
absolute delightful array of journalistic pieces awaiting discovery there.

of the overprints I mean to do

something about, some day ... some day -

The author of the book on the Pakistan overprints was Ron Doubleday.
I see in the latest Gibbons Stamo Monthly, received today, that he has
just died, so I guess we may anticipate a dispersal of his collection.

Re. "Muzarafabad" as an overprint.

Could this be some sort of a fiscal cancel do you think? As it crosses
the stamp at both ends it could have been used to "tie" the stamp to
the document being receipted ( or whatever ) in the same way as
signatures had to cross the stamp to tie UK revenue usages to the
cheque or receipt or whatever.

Did Pakistan use these stamps as revenue as well as postage stamps -
particularly the ones overprinted "service" ?

This seems to be a more plausible scenario than the stamp being used
in Bangladesh.

The problem is that sub-continent stamps ( apart from your beloved
feudatory states ! ) seem to attract little interest - and I am sure
that there are many fascinating byways to collecting this area that
have not even had the surface scratched yet.

One thing I should mention is that the colour has "bled" somewhat so I
guess it has been subject to some pretty heavy soaking. I picked this
up in some "off paper kiloware" so there is no clue there. I had
considered a Parcel cancel - but it is no way a "post office" cancel.

Curiouser and curiouser said the white rabbit?

Thanks all for your input !

Malcolm


I doubt that they would have been used as Revenues, because the
British left India well supplied with Revenues of all sorts. If it is
a Muzaffarabad stamp, I'd guess it is some other sort of office stamp
which has inadvertently been applied to the stamps. A further
possibility might be that the regular Muzaffarabad CDS went missing in
all the excitement, and that this was used as a stop-gap. I think I
recall hearing of a Pakistan Study Group, or something similar. They
would probably be able to help.

Thanks for the further info. I am about to e-mail the Peshawar stamp
society to see if they can throw any further light on the subject. I
must confess that from a fairly "light" enquiry I find myself becoming
even more intrigued. I will let you know if anything transpires.
