Hello Matteo,

I cannot be of a great help for this, but nevertheless a few things :

It could be useful as well to ask the same question on another
newsgroup, where people buy and sell stamps :
news:rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace

I could not find this stamp in the Yvert catalogue.
After a lengthy search, I found it under number 1170 (not 1100).
Yvert says also that this stamp was issued in 1992
That its face value is 11 r (for roupie in French or rupie in English)
Multicolour
In my old (2000) issue of Yvert catalogue for India, the cat.values are
:
11 French Francs (about 1;7 Euro) for a mint stamp
7 French Francs (about 1 Euro) used
To-day, the cat.value should be about the same and one may buy this
stamp at 1/3 of cat. value i.e. about 1/2 Euro mint.

The *only* problem is to find the stamp :-(

Additional information contained in the Scott catalogue :
The Scott number is (India) 1427
The stamp was issued on 19 Dec. 1992
The Scott's text says "Stephen Smith 1891-1951 Rocket Mail Pionneer"
In my 1999 issue of Scott the cat. value is 1.10 US $ (mint) or .55
(used)

The Scott cat. number may be very helpful to find this stamp.

Even more, the Stanley-Gibbons cat.number (as India has had strong links
with the UK). May be somebody here will be able to give you the
corresponding number.

The best way to find the stamp would be to buy it directly in India (but
then the problem is to find addresses of stamp dealers there).

You may also search with the different catalog numbers on
www.ebay.com
or on www.delcampe.com

Hope this helps !

All the best,
Pierre Courtiade
