Site Name: Nahan (Sirmaur)
Date: 1951 CE
Subject: When a stamp dealer tried to order copies of the obsolete 1885 issue, he supplied a catalog illustration for reference. This illustration did not include sprigs shown in the issued stamps. State authorities sent the illustration to printers, who produced stamps utilizing this sample just as shown including the perforations. Stuck with supplies when collectors rejected them as bogus fantasies, Sirmur's postal authorities used them for postal purposes. [Stamps with Printed Perforations]
