JHALAWAR

1887 Indian text

1 p left, 1/4 a right

Sheetlet of 12 genuine stamps, cut into half. Note the impression of the screw on the right hand bottom side. A similar screw impression also exists at the left (but is cut off here).

With screws on both sides, reduced sized image.

  1 p green
  1/4 a green

vc = very common
c  = common
*  = not so common
** = uncommon

*** = very uncommon
R   = rare
RR  = very rare
RRR = extremely rare

These stamps were printed in sheets consisting of 12 stamps (12 in one row).

With cancels.

The next stamp could be a forgery:

(Forgery?)

Probably forgeries, too nicely printed to be genuine.

Two forgeries in pale green. In my opinion, the second and third Indian character a tthe bottom should not be connected. I believe these to be Oneglia forgeries.

Part of a pricelist of Oneglia from 1898, with an image of a Jhalawar stamp. This image resembles vry much the above forgeries. The text (in French) elsewhere in this pricelist reads "JHALAWAR 1891 - 1 Paisa vert F.05" (even though the forgery is the 1/4 anna).

Most likely modern forgeries, produced in the 1980's. The designs appear to have been copied from Stanley Gibbons catalogue. In my opinion, in the 1/4 a, the top Indian character on the left hand side is disconnected from the rest and is too short.

Forgeries, printed on the front and the back of a small piece of paper.

I've been told that these stamps are also forgeries.

The forger Senf apparently also made a forgery of the above stamp, I have no image available now.

JIND (Jhind, Jeend)

1875 Stamps with a "R" and Indian text, perforated or imperforate

1/4 a and 1/2 a stamp.

1/2 a blue, 1 a lilac and 1 a brown (different type)

1 a brown, 2 a blue, 4 a green and 8 a red

8 a red perforated.

4 a (forgery?)

  1/4 a brown
  1/2 a blue
  1/2 a yellow
  1 a lilac
  1 a brown
  2 a yellow to orange
  2 a blue
  4 a green
  8 a purple
  8 a red

vc = very common
c  = common
*  = not so common
** = uncommon

*** = very uncommon
R   = rare
RR  = very rare
RRR = extremely rare

Sword cancel.

With "220" cancel, looks like a forgery to me.

Forged sheet of the 1/4 anna, made by the stamp forger Senf as an 'art supplement' (Kunstbeigabe) to his journal. The sheet is 2/3 the size of a genuine sheet.

Forgeries.

Modern forgeries.

There exist some bogus stamps of Jhind (click here for more details), fiscal stamps in the same design also exist (the use of the above postage stamps was stopped in 1885). For stamps of India with overprint "JHIND STATE" or "JEEND STATE", click here.

Postal stationery of Jhin: inscription "JEEND STATE POST CARD":
