Have these three stamps I believe belong to one of the Feudal States of India based only on the style of writing on the stamp. Characters below the line instead of above the line may be used elsewhere but I do not know.

The paper used for these stamps is extremely thin. I am not sure of the method of printing. Has the quality of a woodblock impression. I am unable to locate these in Scott's catalog. If anyone knows what Country issued these, or Feudal State if India, please reply.

They are from Nepal - try looking there in your catalog.

Thank you. Paper is described as Native Wove Paper. Seems too delicate to be used as a postage stamp but apparently held up well enough.
