Sorry, I have very few Indian stamps, except for the most common, and none with any state names on them. I'll have to just follow the thread from the sidelines. Nice though  |

Chamba SG29 The dark hue around the Overprint is cused by seepage of the linseed Indians often added to the cancelling inks as an ink transfer vehicle. Anyone have a map of the boundaries of Chamba? the one in Wiki 1903 says it shows the boundaries in the Punjab map, dashed if I could see it.   |

I have seen linseed dehanced cancels from Gilbert and Ellice Islands, and even Tuvalu in the 1980's and 90's. this cover is from Nui Island, 1992, date plugs upside down.  |

Rod, anything I post here is nickable without asking (did I invent a word here?)
I think that envelope was the last of the "made in Canada" types before they were all done in China.
I edit this to add that I used to send envelopes to my good friend on Nui, which I prestamped, and he cancelled them and sent them pack through the post. That is why they were made in canada. |

The Indian currency at the time was 12 Pies = 1 Anna and 16 Annas = 1 Rupee. |

I'm glad to hear it, then. You show the first, faint glimmerings of common sense. |
