India State Stamps Help

Hi all below I have posted 3 stamps from India.

The first one has On H. M, S. stamped on the face. (Please note this stamp is a filler till I find a better one)any information on this stamp.

Second is from the Travancore state but has in red On S S in it ( have have others from here but have a dark over print on them, same letters)

Last one is a Burma over print, again any information.

Thanks all these are the last ones I need to get mounted,,,, then on to other discovery's.

The first stamp is a British India Service Postage stamp ("On HMS" stands for "on Her Majesty Sevice"); SG O 21
The second one is a Travancore Official Stamp, SG O 13
The third one is Burma (British colony), SG 10

Please, note that my SG catalog is very old; so numbers might be changed

Thanks for the information....

I think the top left might be SG #O41, 1 anna plum, which Scott lists as Sc #O28 maroon. If I have the right stamp, both catalogues agree that it is the 1883 series.

I believe the Travancore is O31 in Scott, but don't write that in pen until someone confirms it.

The Burma is #10 in Scott, too, issued in 1937.

Could we have a larger scan of the Travancore stamp, please? From the small image, it looks like SG O61, the 1934 red overprint Type O7. It may also have the error 'inverted O in On', which would make it SG O61d - and a £15 stamp instead of a 10p stamp.

This is SG O61:



and here is a close-up of an inverted 'O' in 'On' on this stamp:



(These were printed in sheets of 84 stamps, and there may be more than one inverted 'O' in the sheet.)

Sorry I can't give you a Scott number.

Incidentally, there is a watermark inverted variety listed for the Burma 6 Annas. Worth looking out for: Gibbons prices it at £85.

The Scott number I gave (#O31) for the Travancore is listed for the 1930-34 series. Scott gives a separate number, O30, for the black overprint, which they list as issued in 1933. Scott doesn't list an inverted "O" variety (not surprisingly).

Travancore..the world's most beautiful stamps
