Two-anna yellow local issue in a complete sheet of fifty

A checklist of Jind’s stamps for collectors: every issue and value in the research checklist, 164 entries, with a picture for 14 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 Jind: Stamps and Postal History.
