Good luck with that, India Pmks are a life study, then there are the poor impressions. Only one that yells at me is the 3 Pice Queen Victoria Grey Bridge type. DARJEELING West Bengal. Tea, and summer resort of the elite.
One anna Queen Victoria Rose 3 pice KAMPTEE is a suburb of Nagpur city and a municipal council in Nagpur district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
5th down Queen Victoria 3 Pice rose BEAWAR is a city in Ajmer district of Rajasthan, India. Beawar was the financial capital of Merwara state of Rajputana
2nd down, mutilated postal stationery Guess: (There appears to be a prefix text string beginning with CH) SRINAGAR is the largest city and the summer capital of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Thank you, Rod. I too thought Darjeeling, but in a case such as this a second opinion is valuable. Hope others will offer theirs.
As for the difficulty of the enterprise: I feared as much. But it proves the interest (i.e., value) of stamps that may have little or no monetary worth.

Kamptee and Beawar: excellent. Both fit well. I'm mainly looking for uses of Indian stamps in other countries (e.g., Iran, Iraq, Aden, et al.), but any ID here is satisfying. Thanks again. |

Regarding the difficulty, it comes to mind of the latest Film "Lion" A 5 year old boy gets lost in India (True story) He knows his town is called "Ganesh Tedi" but carers are unable to find it. (Granted it was c1000Km away) He is adopted by an Tasmanian couple (Australia) and 26 years later finds his home and mother via GOOGLE MAPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saroo_BrierleySaroo = Sheroo = Lion |

The Billig's Handbooks are new to me. Will hunt around for affordable copies. Your idea of Srinigar for the postal stationary is very appealing. Kashmir is something a bit out of the ordinary. Here, I believe, are Muscat and Pondicherry (French India). The third I'd like to be Mohammera (Iran). What do you think? Finally, two others that have perplexed me. Eric      |

Some of the unidentified ones:
Nine Pies Rose - UMBALLA
Half Anna PS cutout - CHANDER NAGAR (I think not Srinagar)
12 Annas - QUETTA
Last group:
Four Annas 6 Pies - MUSCAT
One Anna Plum - PONDICHERRY
2 Annas 6 pies - MOHAMMERAH
One Anna Edward VII - FORT-BOMBAY

Wonderful. I did think that someone in the UK might chime in eventually. You and Rod have been a great help. I'll post more of these from time to time and hope I may hear from you again.

And Rod, your Rangoon is very nice, but I envy you the Bagdad. The sort of thing I'm hoping to find. |

Eric, Rangoon and Bagdad are not that scarce. albeit, with the advent of the internet, as information becomes more available, (Like our constant ID of material on SCF) Collectors are becoming more savvy, and the "used abroads" surface in bulk lots less frequently.
15 years ago, you could buy a bag of India for pennies, which included some "used abroads"
You are 2 up on me with your Muscat and Iran !

Rod, is the page you posted from Billig's Vol. 40, sub-vol.III? And, is anyone still willing to strain his/her eyes on these two?   |
