India ~ Commercial Overprints:

There I was, picking through Jubilee's package
like old Scrooge
and I spied a lovely India Commercial Overprint Yay!
That makes my collection 3 in number.

I have quite a few British, but not many Indian.
This one would have been beautiful, but has become feint
through soaking I think.

"British Merchant" or "Butter Merchant" something like that.

Others:

sometimes I get the feeling you are the only true indian stamp collector on the forum

Oh No, I only collect these sorts of things because I cannot afford
the stuff that Tony has, and you, no doubt :)

I really must be more careful about what I send! You wouldn't have got that if I had seen it

dear jubilee you have forgotten to send the nabha again. please include it in your next shipment.

Would you like to see it again?

nope thats not it? thats nt the nabha we saw earlier. Rod will confirm it looks like it has gotten switched.

It's the only Nabha I have spock, so it's the only one I could have shown you before!

Just focus on the joy you have given me Jubilee,
and the amount of Karma you are earning

...but, yes, they are rather lovely, and I havn't reached half way yet.

listen to Rod

send the nabha over so I can take a closer look and confirm if it was the same lot shown before :)

Spock, not a chance.......

Oh, hang on, there IS a chance!

Please send one 25R

We've had this conversation before

Rod, glad you're happy

haha its ony amatter of time if you can send vicky nabha you can send anything :)

Rod I think it says "Bombay" in Gothic-style print
