Would probably help to amend the title to incorporate "India" to draw the attention of the Indian experts here. |

Purports to be Japanese Occupation of Burma - similar to SG J3, but without the SERVICE overprint, and in red not black. Gibbons has the following note on these stamps:
"Collectors are warned against forgeries of these overprints, often in the wrong colours or on the wrong values."
I'd guess this is another one. |

Geoff, Gibbons mentions that it's the Burmese emblem. Whether that's changed in post war years I don't know. The regular pre-independence watermark was an elephant which is probably more Burmese than a peacock. |

The peafowl is still one of the Burmese national emblems. By the way, the country is now mainly known as Myanmar.

I suspect that, ooh, maybe 1% of the UK's population would call Burma "Myanmar" ... |
