The remarkable collection formed by Marcus Samuel, FRPSL. Type numbers quoted are taken from "Specimen Stamps of British India" by Marcus Samuel, published by the India Study Circle in 1978
Convention States Stamps
Patiala
Officials, 1885 overprinted "service/puttialla/state" in red, ½a. and 2a. both handstamped "specimen." Type 15, part original gum. A rare duo which although thought to be reprints, because other Convention States items overprinted with Type 15 are believed to be issued stamps, Phillip Kinns suggests that these two "reprints" may, in fact, be essays or proofs. See the 1978 monogram, page 28
