INDIAN STATES, FARIDKOT

Note: on my website many of the pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the cd's;
contact me if you want to purchase them: ..

Many forgeries exist: see the excellent site http://www.princelystates.com/CurrentIssue/ff-04-01a.shtml for more information.

1879 Indian text

  1 f blue (small size)
  1 p blue (exists in two sizes, see photo)

Value of the stamps
vc = very common c = common * = not so common ** = uncommon		*** = very uncommon R = rare RR = very rare RRR = extremely rare
Value	Unused	Used	Remarks
1 f	**	***	Small design
1 p	***	***	Two sizes

Stamps in the same design, but with different colours, are probably bogus issues (or reprints). I've seen the small sized stamp in the colours black, green and red and the large sized stamp in the colours black and green, example:

The above stamp is a fiscal stamp. I have also seen a green and a yellow stamp (both imperforate) and a blue stamp (perforate and imperforate) in the same design. For forgeries of Faridkot see this website: http://www.princelystates.com/CurrentIssue/ff-04-01c.shtml.

(Forgeries of the 1 f stamp)

The above stamps are forgeries. They look exactly like the picture of the second forgery of this stamp on the above mentioned website. The details of the design are slightly different. There exist at least two forgeries of the 1 f and 1 forgery of the 1 p.
