1852, Scinde Dawk ½a. scarlet on part cover from TATTA, cancelled by diamond of dots (8x8), and with boxed "TATTA / (POST) OFFICE" h/s in red. The stamp with usual cracks and minor marginal chippings but still a good example of this scarce stamp on an original part cover. The postmark indicates the original use of this stamp, which is difficult (or impossible) for most of the Scinde Dawks. AN IMPORTANT ITEM OF THE SCINDE DAWK ISSUES AND OF INDIAN POSTAL HISTORY IN GENERAL. RPSL cert. (signed by one person only) mentioned "... (stamp) did not originate on this piece", while Heddergott certificated "... originally used on piece, genuine in all respects; this item is detectable in trade since 1947"; no statement to pieces by the B.P.A.
