Alwar: the Collector’s Checklist
Every Alwar issue and value, 6 entries, with pictures where available and a box to tick for each stamp you have.
Updated November 5, 2026
A checklist of Alwar’s stamps for collectors: every issue and value in the research checklist, 6 entries, with a picture for 5 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 Alwar: Stamps and Postal History.
