Not sure about others, Rod, perhaps you could post a specimen or two - but this is a very special case. Las Bela maintained an extraterritorial post office at Karachi, for the dispatch of mail to and from Las Bela. This example is outgoing from the Karachi office to Las Bela. (The only other Indian State to have such an arrangement was Jammu & Kashmir, which had an extraterritorial office at Sialkot, across the border in British India.)

Tony, that Las Bela has an inverted date slug ?


Not sure, Rodney, because it's very blurry. However, the '0' in the year looks to be in the right position.

OK fair enough.
I rotated your scan 180, and it looked like "NOV" to me.

Most indian stamps employ the dd/mm/yy format
but there are instances of Month preceding.

QV squared circle cancellation,
with stroke of theft prevention

"OUT" in CDS and mm/dd/yy format.

Not sure, but to hazard a guess, could be a railway dispatch cancel. (And of course, not strictly a CDS because it's a squared circle )

Edit: You edited in the second image while I was replying. Even less sure about that one, but I'd still guess railway dispatch, if pressed.

Do you have an equivalent IN CDS on a stamp? I'd assume IN ought to appear only as a backstamp, if my guess is correct.

boom boom!
of course. slap on my wrist.

Never seen an "IN" print either on a stamp or cover.

A curiosity we shall have to live with.
I think your suggestion of rail despatch is a goodie,
and shall adopt that until further notice.

Did a quick run through the India Study Circle archive, and I think OUT may in fact be associated with outgoing foreign mails through Bombay. Sorry: there's such a mountain of references to Bombay postmarks (as you might imagine) that I couldn't do an exhaustive search.
