Beautiful Bhawalpur

poor tony he has lost it BTW tony it looked that barwani spent some time in the kings garden :)

now onwards to beautiful bhawalpur






the regular issue and the red overprint issue for the upu lovers

I forgot that you insist on MUH. Well, then, what about SG 22a from Barwani:



I can't imagine what more any normal, sensible person could want. Really, I can't.

tsk tsk no wonder you couldnt get anyone to collect indian states the world doest have time for uglies and stains that pass for stamps we have a short life so get some beautiful bhawalpur and post here I know your album is full of them if I find any good barwanti I will open a thread for that but that not glamorous or beautiful. looks like king wanted to go to the toilet but they forced him to stand there

Thanks spock!

I do not see any red over print. Please explain the difference between the two rows of stamps, or am I missing something?

Puzzler, look real close and you'll see some red squiggly marks over top of the globe. I'm sure they say something in a language I don't understand, but they are certainly the overprint that was referred to...

Thank you abohart, my eyes are getting old and rusty. Those strokes blended right in for me the first few times I looked.

A close up for you, with the official overprint.

Wait a sec, there's a red overprint on that stamp!

Thanks Rod! High res scanning d9oes indeed pop images out so things are seen more clearly.

Indeed Puzzler,
no better highlighted than this example created by
a mr. bob ingraham in 2002 (copyrighted) regarding the Canadian
munitions stamp of 1942.

The detail in the stamp is absolutely mind boggling.

Only via decent scanning can we appreciate the artists work.

Nice preeezentation Rod!

You would have to thank Mr. Ingraham.
my scanner at the time couldn't get that sort of result. :(

hahah rod has the image of every stamp in the world but even he wont have the 7 george 5 that should come soon :)
