Here we go again. Some more overprints I can't seem to identify. Not a surprise I guess with my limited knowledge.

I did see one with a similar overprint in Scott, but it had additional text across the center as well. So it was different than these 2 overprints.

The one on the right appears to be Indian, but it also looks a bit Australian too, so I am not sure.

Help please...

Thanks India Scott # O20-O50 range maybe?

I'll check the UK for the other one.

Cheers..

I think you're going to find the QV is the 1900 issue, and the KEVII is issued shortly thereafter. I apologize in advance for not getting out of my chair to look...


[Sorry...that didn't feel right...O35 and O39, I believe...]

The GB stamp is going to be subject to color interpretation. Based on the year in the cancel, I'm assuming it is the De La Rue printing, which means you get to choose between scarlet and bright scarlet, 1902-1910 issue.

Couldn't have been Australian - we never did get around to issuing stamps for the whole country during Edward VII's reign, even though we became independent a few months before it began

Thanks Tony. It looks like it might be GB Scott #127 - 1902
