First,
3/B-16/2 is the code of Basavana Bagevadi (16.5681°N 75.9754°E) in Vijayapura district of Karnataka, not Kaladagi.

India Study Circle for Philately, Eastleigh, England 1998
Chapter III: The 1877 Organisation; pp.18, 22, 26, 28, 40, 46-7, 50

It is the primary reference for Cooper types 32&32a-c/Renouf and Martin types 17&17a-d used in Mumbai Circle but the list of post offices with specific codes is quite incomplete.

Mr. Joy,
The value lies in the inspiration it gave me at the time, without it I would have never been interested in India, lesser mortals would maybe have "trashed" or "binned" the heavily cancelled items.

Knowledge gained, is a transient discipline, we make errors, we learn and move on.

Your knowledge and reference materials are invaluable, but please consider, it was all gained by standing on others shoulders.
Allow collectors to make mistakes, we all do, correct us, sure, but bear in mind we generally don't intend to willingly give error information.

Thanks for the fabulous references.

Rod, you perhaps don't know the identification of post offices 3/B-16/2, 3/B-16, 3/B-23, 3/B-9/1, 3/B-9, 2/B-5/6, 2/B-5, 6/B-7 and 5/B-10 was all done by me from covers, none was published before. I should have highlighted that.

Well done you.

We need a pic of your Library.
