Wadhwan half-pice black arms stamp, with HALF PICE visible at the foot

A checklist of Wadhwan’s stamps for collectors: every issue and value in the research checklist, 2 entries, with a picture for 1 of them. Tick the box for each stamp you have. Official stamps are not listed, and neither are the shades, papers, perforations, settings and errors of each issue, which need a specialist catalogue. Catalogue numbers are Stanley Gibbons (SG), or Scott or a published handbook where the research gives no SG number; a blank means no number from a published catalogue has been confirmed. Print the page, or keep it open while you sort your stamps.

The history of the state and its stamps is in Wadhwan: Stamps and Postal History.
