It does not look to me like a postage stamp.However I read about it,that it is imperforated. It is claimed,only three of them exist and they are all owned by one person. Do you have any more information about it.Why does no catalogue list them ? Or has that changed in the meanwhile ?

They are listed in Scott now but still not in SG. There is an article in India Post #195 (Vol.49, 2015) about these.

The stamp was issued in 1906,I think There are only three covers known and they are not available in any auctions sites |
