These were like this; and based on SG, I was curious, so moved the top one for a second look. How do you know what to look for. The other stamps on the page are from 1902 to a postmarked I.E.F. 1920

Right underneath the first posting of that overprint, Gibbons is cautionary about it being forgery. I've no idea myself. That's why I am asking.

And the overprint on the Service stamps (SG O97) was different from that on the ordinary stamps.

Here is the NINE PIES surcharge further overprinted for Jind State

I still don't get how any economy can be based on pies.

And surely if any nation were to base their currency on pie, it would be the US...
