Countries With No Overprints.

Nigeria was overprinted by an area that tried to break away






South Arabia was overprinted too






Thanks Kuhli for you additions (or rather subtractions ) They are a great addition to Warrehouse's excellent work. I thought of starting with a list of world issuing organisations and removing those that issued overprints but this is a much better way.

Yes, But they are new and different entities. If you wanted this become a third catagory overprint of an old or different state for the creation of new state!

By the way Peterethio, Thanks for the earlier statement!

That's fine, I really appreciate it. My world catalogue is an SG 1980 Simplified so I couldn't have done what you did. I have a more in depth catalogue but it is 1976 and I'm missing volume 4.

You Are Welcome!! We did not touch on unlisted SG & Scott issuing entities. this list could triple!

But we could do a reverse list of entites that only used overprinted issues.

I sometimes find it difficult to get a concept from the mind into print concisely and accurately; please excuse my ambiguity. What I was looking for is a list of stamp issuing entities whose stamps were not overprinted for any reason.

This means that your list still stands, Warrehouse, but perhaps there are a few places that need deleting. Sorry I didn't make this clear earlier.




This would be interesting. As you have probably noticed, I find overprints and overprint varieties very appealing to collect.

Falkland Islands Dependencies:
In 1956, 4 stamps from the 1954 definitive set were overprinted Trans-Atlantic Expedition 1955-1958.

Nyasaland:
In 1963, 11 Revenue stamps were overprinted POSTAGE, and a couple of them also had the denomination overprinted.

On the plus side:
Malacca, Penang and Perlis don't appear to have any overprints.

Thanks 22crows,
But look again, Malacca Penang & Perlis overprints used during Japanese Occupation & Perlis also had an Offical Overprint too!

Confirmed Falkland Dep. & Nyasaland.
Thanks again 22crows!

Warrehouse, I'm afraid Dhar and Duttia are out - that's why I omitted them from my list of the Indian Sates on page 1.

The first (typeset) types of Dhar were only supposed to be issued overprinted with the Maharaja's monogram:



and no Duttia stamps were supposed to be issued without the control overprint:



This is what they look like on the odd occasion they were actually used:

Thanks Tonymacg, Updated!

Thank you to one and all. With each reply we get a better list.

The list so far:

so did you make a decision on souvenir sheets?

Ras Al Khaima has an overprint on an s/s. MI BL79 was overprinted and listed as MI BL94.

Fujeira MI 513-516 overprinted with CENTENARY OF / CHARLES DICKENS and AIRMAIL and listed as MI 517-520

South Georgia 1971 several issues overprinted for decimalization.

not sure how the classification in the catalogs, if this is considered South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, or are they listed separately?
