Hi, does anyone here know if there is any difference between India revenue stamps with "Bombay Province" overprinted and the ones without? As in if I collect them would I need both or just one of them? Examples below.   |

guyana1230........the difference between these 1937 Key type issues is that one is National for use over all of India, and the overprints are for use in those States/Provinces. Quote from Barefoot Catalogue: "The main provinces of British India sometimes overprinted national issues to limit it's use to within the province, as a revenue protection measure.". The catalogue does not give these separate numbers or values so it's up to you what you decide. I would personally want both !! Londonbus1
