2273° og ImageINDIA, 1852, -1/2a Blue, "Scinde Dawk" (SG S2; Scott A2). Without gum as issued, three clear to huge (at top) margins, just impinging the design at right, bold color and impression, couple light surface marks

FINE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE HALF-ANNA BLUE "SCINDE DAWK". ONE OF THE RAREST UNUSED STAMPS OF INDIA OF WHICH ONLY A FEW ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST.

The "Scinde Dawk" name is simply because they were used in the Sindh Province and the word "Dawk" is an anglicized spelling of the Hindustani word for "Post". The -1/2a Red (SG S3; Scott A3) was first issued on July 1, 1852 as a wafer wax seal - the first postage stamp of Asia. Due to the obvious shortfalls of a wafer seal, the White and Blue (SG S1-S2; Scott A1-A2) stamps were printed and embossed for use.

Signed Calves. With 1998 and 2015 R.P.S. certificates. The former of which shows the stamp in it's original Gem quality state with sheet margin at right - easily the finest known example - prior to being mistakenly cut down while sizing a mount. Scott $40,000.00 (Image)

2274 og ImageINDIA, 1854, -1/2a Deep Vermilion, 9-1/2 Arches (SG 1a; Scott 1). Without gum as issued, large balanced margins, deep rich shade, strong impression

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE AND HANDSOME EXAMPLE OF THE HALF-ANNA IN DEEP VERMILION.

Named "9-1/2 Arches" due to the number of arches in the side panel. This stamp was printed and prepared for use with a supply sent to Bombay, although it was never officially released for sale. The Deep Vermilion shade offered here is rarer than the Vermilion shade which is usually found on toned paper.

Signed Heddergott BPP. Scott $1,200.00 as Vermilion (Image)
