I am a collector of worldwide stamps and have multiple albums of all different countries. Stamps that are out of my price range (based off of Scott catalog prices) I print pictures of stamps I will never get so my albums don't have large gaps of empty space. I was looking into Bushire and was wondering if anyone knew anything about Scott #N6a, #N9a, and/or #N27a. These are labeled as "double overprint", and I can't seem to find a picture of these three. Any information and/or photos would be very helpful. I have two websites I normally use but they are not listed on there. Thanks in advance!

For all of us that are more or less ignorant of Bulshire, could you post a picture ? I am of course asking for a picture of the basic stamp

Bushire, a port town on the Persian Gulf, in present Iran.
Not Bulshire.

KBLAN ----- Your asking about stamps that most likely hasn't changed hands in 40 years .There are stamps that just are not around or doesn't show up in the regular stamp auction cycle of year in and year out .. Your best bet would be to attend or spend time at the APS LIBRARY . I would start with the old auction catalogs of Stanley Gibbons and Robson Lowe .

It looks like the source is ebay, so a very good chance it is a forgery.

I wouldn't down load that Bushire stamp , looks too weak of a overprint to be real ,plus the fact it has no certif. then anything sold for thousands being sold on ebay is questionable .....that's three strikes against it .

Thank you for the responses. And thank you floortrader for the picture. That's a perfect photo for #N6a. Now just for the last two and it'll be complete.
