I.F.S. BARWANI: 1927 ½a yellow-green (very poor impression on thin, brittle wove paper), perf 7, two blocks of four on somewhat soiled piece with four fine strikes of bilingual KHETIA CDS. Some defects, but a rare and remarkable piece. SG 21, £1040; Scott 8 (Image)

The stamp is certainly SG 1 by shade, but is from the wider-spaced setting usual for SG 3. A very rare and desirable usage. SG 1 var; Scott 1 var (Image)

I.F.S. JASDAN: 1942-7 1a light green perf 12 at top and right, tied to sugar ration 'card' by circular violet postmark of 3rd July (?). Also with 1a rose fiscal on front, tied by CANCELLED handstamp. Rare. SG 2; Scott 1 (Image)

Rare and most interesting usage. SG 4; Scott 1 This represents apparently the earliest recorded date for SG 4.
