HI everyone, I found this stamp (I hope that it's a stamp) a long ago in my collection. But I have no idea, what it is. It might be some Nepal or old-Indian state. It would be great, if anyone had information about it.  |

Looks like it might be an Indian State, Soruth or another. My SoTW does not list all the stamps so cannot really help. Soruth for example has many Gibbons numbers missing. Tony might see this and answer in quick time !  Londonbus1 |

lubos, edit your first post and change the title in it to say Is this Indian State stamp? or something that would draw the attention of the India expert fellows.

Can we have a more in depth scan please ?
ID scans need appropriate clarity to get the job done.
It has a remote similarity to a Nepalese Pashupati seal
cancellation 1907-1949
these could be private in nature but were mainly employed
as a theft prevention vehicle, to tie the stamp to the cover.
This is not apparent in the shard you offer.

Plus the entire piece if possible,
we can get clues from all sorts of things.
There is some dubious script also top rhs corner.

One of the Indian States, but not a postage stamp. If I remember correctly (not guaranteed at my age), it's a fiscal from the State of Bhor - the source of my avatar.
One of your fellow countrymen, Lubos, is one the great experts in the Indian States fiscals. However, he isn't a member of SCF. |

Bravo Tony. I hadn't considered Forbin. They have some nice Revenues of the Indian States including Bhor (Bhore) I'll have to spend some time looking around in there. This is the first time I have seen a "Negative" revenue I think. Lubos' example looks like wove paper to me  anybody else think likewise? |

Hi Rod.
Forbin describes it as 'papier vergé' which is laid paper.
Wove paper would be 'papier vélin'.
Having said that, I have found errors in Forbin before so don't take it to the bank yet. |

Cheers, I would bet Tony Macg's wallet that Lubos' stamp is on wove paper. Just wondering if a forgery or Forbin had it wrong. We must be tolerant of Forbin, he didn't have all the benefits of the ww web, and 100 years of history  |

I had a look at it under the screen magnifying glass, and I can't decide whether it's wove or laid. It might be pertinent that the postage stamps, like my avatar, are on native paper, which often does have laid-like lines. Here is a full-size version of Bhor SG 1:  where the 'laid' lines are just visible. |

I'll take that on board, but Lubos' example has a distinct "stipple effect" most recognisable with wove, have a look at this for example. (I'll remain open to suggestions however)  |

Here is the rescan of this revenue stamp.  I must say that you're so amazing with all the knowledge. Could you tell me what's its value (price). Thank you very much. |
