I find this stamp.
I could not find it in The Stanley Gibbons (2008) Indian feudatory states (Sirmoor).
the stamp without overprint is n°22 (picture 4 in SG).
After there is a lot of overprint (until number 107) but concerning only the stamp of rajah Shamsher Parkash (picture 3 in SG).
Who can help me?
merci d'avance.

Bonjour, M'sieu,

This stamp in my older SG Commonwealth immediately follows the
'regular' listings for Sirmoor and is either #54 or #60 as it depends
upon the size and spacing of the OP. I -=think=- it is $54 because of
the large serifs on the "S".

ce fait rien ...

54 and 60 are listed as overprints on 6, not 22. I suspect that it is a
fabrication.


You are correct Tony, sorry. I missed checking the 'design type'
number in the listing. However, 6 is Brown, it's 7 and 8 that are
Orange.

The hefalump [design 4] is not in the OP list.
