India ID?
Question about this item.
http://www.georgestamps.org/images/gp_india_52.jpg The basic stamp is India Scott # 52, the 5r of 1895. But the overprint confuses me. Some Indian official stamps bear a "Service" overprint, and some bear a "Postage Service" overprint. I cannot locate one that has this "Postal Service" overprint. Any Ideas?? TIA, George

George,
Victorian and Edwardian stamps overprinted "Postal Service" were customs fee due stamps, not postage stamps. Best regards Ton "George" schreef in bericht ...
