Offered is a lovely example of the famed 1852 Scinde Dawk, this example being the ½ Anna embossed in white, benefitting from being cut square, SGS1. Issued in Sindh province by Sir Bartle Frere on the part of the East india Company as an attempt to standardize the more informal system of Indus Valley runners (known locally as Dawk or Dak), these represent the first self-adhesive postage stamps in Asia. This a fine used example of this classic and iconic stamp, and guaranteed genuine.
