I can't find India SG 102 (1891 2 1/2 Annas overprint on the 4 1/2 Annas ) with a Gwalior overprint in Stanley Gibbons British Commonwealth.

The example also appears to have an additional overprint at the top of the stamp.

The Gwalior overprint does not appear to be a standard GWALIOR overprints, it has a small W.

Any ideas as to what this is?

It could be a local Gwalior handstamp (overprint) of very early use.In which case it is rare.Non official Gwalior overprints exist at later dates (KGVI).

Wrong wording on my part. I was refering to the local Alizah Press overprint of 1949.

The Gwalior overprint looks like a fake to me.

That's what I thought, but deferred as to the existence of non official opts.
