Pakistan is a nice collecting country. Some perf variations on the early def series. Be aware of the direction of the moon ( stamp 27-28-29), I think 28-29 are the first series. There are some variations of the size of some overprints and the inscription language on the "Cyber pass" series. None of them are costly, but some are hard to get. I have tried to exchange them from people who claim to have what I want, but in 90% I end up with what I already have. There are also some inverted watermarks to be aware of, on the early series.

I was somewhat confused,by "the different inscriptions of the Khyber-Pass series". I thought of the Rupee-values of the 1948 series.However,I now think,the remark referred to to 1961 definitives.
There are three values,1,2 and 5 Paisa,where the first letter of the Bengali inscription (looking like an inverted R) misses a little stroke to the left of the top.That reads: Shakistan. The three stamps were re-issued with the stroke: Pakistan The service stamps of 1961 also exist in both types.All are not scarce or valuable,very much so in used condition.
Less common is the re-engraved type of the 3 P. Again on the same letter,the re-engraved stamp has a curved stroke,instead of the usual straight one. Michel does not list it,but my (age-old) S.G. does as no.133a
In the 1962/65 reissued series (left stamp),the same letter and more was changed again.
Pakistan is one of my favourite stamp countries and I have some regrets,that I terminated my collection with the year 2000. If one stays away of the few pitholes,like the "used" 15 and 25 Rs. of the 1947 overprints and maybe some of the perforation varieties of the early series,it is a "fair" country to collectors.

I was able to complete a number of sets and fill a number of holes on my album pages from my recent purchase. Missing on this page was the 12a red, Sc. no. 37, in the upper right corner of the page.  On the page below, the pair of stamps at the top, Sc. nos. 63-64, the 5th Anniversary of Pakistan's Independence and the centenary of the first postage stamps in the Indo-Pakistan sub continent were missing from the page.  |

Don't think the 'Orange Tree' (March 1957) - part of the 'First Anniversary of Republic' issues - has been shown here before. Can't imagine JeffS doesn't have this 'citrus' stamp, but thought I'd post as much as anything else as the printing colour/texture of the oranges impressed me - how this achieved with ink I've no idea. Pix aren't too clever, but the almost embossed appearance of the fruit, when magnified, creates a real orange peel textured look - very clever. SG 89 - 10 Rupee - myrtle-green and yellow-orange.   |

Pakistan like India is a country I have a number of stamps but for some reason have little interest in them.

One of my favourite stamp designs in my collection. 25 years since the first Pakistani television broadcast, 1989.  |

Because of this post, I went and looked at my Pakistani duplicates and found these 50 paisa stamps which have the different text. If not for this post, I'd have been completely ignorant of the fact I had a variant of this stamp in my collection.  |

I also found two red service overprint varieties on the 20 paisa stamps. (I assume both are real)  |

More or less meagre,more or less fat overprints on Pakistan service stamps are common.

Some collect overprint variations and sometimes such variations are listed in catalogs.

Common means,that such varieties are not extra-ordinary. They are not listed in any normal catalogue. I´m just talking about the service-overprints of Pakistan !

This forum isn't exclusively for extreme rarities, if anybody wants to show something in their collection, I'm pretty sure they can. @clovermite I think I know what you are getting at, I have been guilty in that respect, but try to understand, it is not always a denigration, both my Australian Specialist's catalogue, and my Turkiye (McDonald) have rarity classifications amongst their cataloguing as "Common" It can be a fair, and appropriate classification, I share your observation, if used in a critical way, along with "worthless" and the oft misused "rare" |

As a young person, West Pakistan and East Pakistan became frozen in my mind from my parent's encyclopedia. I thought the vast separation between the two was curious. Later, I learned about the secession with the help of India and then the disputed lands between Pakistan and India. These 1960 stamps show a map of West and East Pakistan and the disputed areas with India. Scott: 108-111  |
