Indian Feudatory States Jammu & Kashmir 1867 (Apr) Kashmir 'old rectangular’ 1a black, Type 7, SG89.
A very fresh unused example printed on native paper for use solely in Kashmir.
Contemporary (official?) annotation on reverse just shows through. However, this is still a really fine example of this major rarity, with most examples found being in poor condition.
Stanley Gibbons catalogue value: £5,500.
