Left stamp is upside-down.
1899 issue of Nepal. Someone else will need to chime in regarding whether genuine or not. |

I meant not only the stamps, but also the whether the cancel is genuine -- looks like what may be part of a telephone/telegraph cancel on the left stamp. |

I agree with khj that the left-hand cancellation looks telegraphic.
Stamps of this design were used telegraphically from 1917 to 1930 including a large quantity from the early local printings from the late nineteenth century. |

Thanks Terence, Khj and Nigelc. These stamps are on very thin paper, very transparent and shivery... I never seen before genuine stamps of some country issued on such a kind of paper. |

The thin paper is quite typical of these issues, although a variety of papers, from thick to thin like these, was used.
They appear genuine, but as others have pointed out, the first appears to have a telegraphic cancellation. These are quite common: I've seen entire sheets of this ˝ Anna used with telegraph cancellations for sale. |

Thanks TonyMacG, I checked them in Scott, and they seems to be very common... although look pretty scarce on the first sight... |

Very neat, nonetheless. I am lacking Nepal in my Worldwide collection. I'll have to pick up a few someday. |

There are some listed on the bay under Nepal at present. Some in colour.
