Probably should be Al-Manama not to confuse it with Manama the part-enclave between trucial states of Fujeira and Sharjah. (just thinking aloud) |

Sorry to disagree but I think that you will find that stamps produced
for Bahrain were o/p Bahrain as well as surcharged ( in Indian currency). Stamps surcharged only were for use in British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia - namely Muscat, Abu Dhabi,,Dubai,Qatar,Doha,UmmSaid and Das Island. Such stamps can be found commercially postally used from Bahrain and Kuwait, but unused stamps should not be "allocated" to these countries.Incidentally Qatar had stamps o/p as well as surcharged from 1957, surcharge only are prior to that year. Prior to Indian Independence unoverprinted stamps of India were used in some of these places This info from the "Red" Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue. Malcolm |

This was regards Tony Vella's ID request: --- http://cjoint.com/data/jiuLzsCIaY.htm Help ID, please. Thanks in advance. --- A response was received declaring it to be a Bahraini stamp, which is in error - the stamp is from Oman (or Muscat, or Muscat and Oman, depending on how the catalogue chooses to indicate it). In the Scott catalogue, it's either Oman 65 or Oman 79, depending on the watermark. Ryan |

I agree Malcolm, I have similar stamps 1NP1 and "Ajman" etc. In 2003 Blair responded to my request and hence I have mine Catalogued under "Arabia ~ British postal agancies" http://cjoint.com/data/jnbPWqkTNP.htm Rodney |

In 1951 and 1953 they were expressly sold in Kuwait due to local shortages of "Kuwait" overprints. A postal service was operated in the Gulf by the Indian postal administration in Bombay from 1884. With the independence of India in 1947 responsibility passed to the British GPO on 1 April 1947, though the postal services remained under the control of Karachi, transferring from Indian to Pakistani administration in August 1947 until the GPO was ready to take over on 1 April 1948. For this reason the previously overprinted Indian stamps were replaced by overprinted GB stamps in 1948. Bahrain and Kuwait continued with overprinted stamps, but the rest of the area now adopted currency surcharges on British stamps but without a country name. Note: Originally primarily used in Muscat these issues have often been listed under that name in catalogues. Other variants of the country heading in catalogues include: "Muscat and Eastern Arabian Agencies", "Muscat and Dubai and Arabian Gulf Agencies", or (eg in some American listings) "Oman". The current designation in the UK is "British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia", since it more accurately reflects the wide usage in Muscat (1948-1966), Qatar (1950-1957), Abu Dhabi (1960-1964), Dubai (1948-1961). Although superficially the overprints look exactly the same as those used for the Bahrain and Kuwait issues, there is an interesting situation with the George VI 1½ annas stamps. The top half of the sheet uses a figure "1" which is slightly shorter (3¼ mm) than in the bottom half of the sheet (3½ mm); although this means that they exist in equal numbers, se-tenant pairs (ie vertical pairs across the middle of the sheet) are extremely elusive since sheets were commonly split in half before sale. Interestingly on the equivalent surcharges for other Gulf territories, the Bahrain issue uses only the tall version of the fraction, and Kuwait uses only the short version; this may tell us something about the order in which the overprinting plates were set up. It also proves that it is not the case (as sometimes suggested) that the three issues were printed from the same printing plate with "Bahrain" or "Kuwait" swapped or omitted (though this may the case for the QE issues. All stamps are overprinted with value only, with no country name. Dates : 1948 - 1966 Currency (1948) 12 pies = 1 anna; 16 annas = 1 rupee (1957) 100 naye paise = 1 rupee Bahrain http://www.intayrnet.com/collectable...res/bph305.jpg Kuwait http://content.answers.com/main/cont..._1957_15np.jpg Blair |
