(RCSD) Pakistan "overprint" ?
According to this correspondant,
one should "forget about" the wartime overprints. http://cjoint.com/data/dwi1xjBMcT.htm "Asia-translation" wrote in message ... I suspect it might be part of 'Muzaffarabad' - the capital of Azad (Pakistani-controlled) Kashmir. Though quite why it should have been stamped a stamp, I can't suggest. Tony of the Antipodes |

Yes, I found it odd, you would think that a stamp magazine would always be on the side of "encouragement". Possibly flew past the editors gaze, late on a Friday arvo.

The old ASM wasn't above simply reproducing such things without comment. Anyway, even if the Bangladesh overprints have fallen into a bit of a philatelic black hole, the old Pakistan overprints on India haven't. Still a lot of meat on those bones. T of the A |

"Asia-translation" Or was it simply a press release from the (then) new Bangladesh PO, aimed at promoting the new definitives? The old ASM wasn't above simply reproducing such things without comment. You nailed it! I was about to post an article on an Irish stamp, re the RNLI for Blair, when I realised it was word perfect, for an article I posted for him from the "Australian Stamp News" of the same period. They were both guilty of that, but the "Stamp News" under the reins of Bill Hornadge was more "hands on" than that of the "monthly" which, as they put it, simply "The newspaper of philately" I have kept all my Pakistan overprints, because I couldn't figure out which were forgeries and which were genuine. |

There was a book on the Pakistan overprints, and there was a follow-up series of articles about the overprints on postal stationery in the Collector;s Club Philatelist. The book is (or was) in the public library here in Melbourne: I remember consulting it occasionally. Very interesting. 'The Amirate of Bahawalpur - Its postal history & stamps' by Dr Captain U.A.G. Isani Syed Abid Hussain also has a section on the Bahawalpur 'Pakistan' overprints, as well as the Bahwalpur overprints on India. I have this book, in case you're interested. I also have a small accumulation of the overprints I mean to do something about, some day ... some day - T of the A |

"Asia-translation" 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 - T of the A |

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 |
