(10:22) The two annas' bluish-green stamp is from Indore (Holkar) State, the portrait shows Maharaja Yeshwant Rao Holkar, and (11:02) the 3 1/2 annas is a victory stamp issued in 1946 to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II (it is a set of 4 stamps). The Hyderabad again is a Victory Commemoration Stamp, (12:40) this is the 1892 "One puttan" stamp issued by Cochin State (I have given you the earliest issues, and all the six Maharaja stamps), Cochin used a different coinage method which is puttan (The Dutch minted the puttan in Cochin, and continued to do so after the Dutch left) and up to 1900 1 Puttan = 5 Pies, 6 Puttans = 5 Annas. From 1900 12 Pies = 1 Anna & 16 Annas = 1 Rupee (sorry Charnie😬, this is a long comment as I am trying to provide you with all the details I can) (13:48) its the 5th Maharaja Ravi Varma of Cochin stamp overprinted with "On CGS" which is On Cochin Government Service. The (16:52) KGVI 3 stamps portray the Mail transports of India, 1) Dak Runner, 2) Dak Bullock Cart & 3) Mail Plane (Armstrong Whitworth AW27 Ensign I) issued in 1937, (18:03) Indore half anna portrait feature Maharaja Tukoji Holkar III, (23:04) the 1/4a imperf stamp is from Bhopal with inscription H.H. Nawab Shah Jahan Begum issued on wove paper. (24:10) yes, you are correct, It is the Taj Mahal 5r stamp issued in 1949 as a part of the Archaeological Series. (26:10) is a QV Revenue Stamp, (32:47) that features the QV 4a Fiscal/Court Fee Stamp and the last stamp (35:20) is a 2r stamp commemorating the Lion and Palm Tree Essay issued in 1977. Thank you again Charnie for this wonderful video and for sharing my TH-cam channel link. Appreciate it, Happy Collecting!!😊
Hi Joe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!! Thank you first of all again for the stamps. The more I get to know about them, the more I realize what an absolutely precious gift you gave me!!!!!! I am sorry that I knew so little of the stamps. But I am learning at the speed of light. 🙂Thank you for all the information you gave us!!! I will work the information into the next video about the stamps. Thank you!!!!!!!! I will carefully study everything that you wrote. You must also enjoy your collecting, and I wish you success in everything you are doing now!
Hi, Charnie. Great episode as usual. Thanks for the time you spent on your videos. Your channel is such a high quality you should have 500's thousands of subscribers.
Hi Sergey, and welcome again here at my channel. It is always nice to see you. Wow! That is such a very kind remark! It means so much to me. I still want to improve my videos a LOT, but it almost makes me cry and very relieve to know that they are not so bad that no one can enjoy them. Thanks! Take care! 🙂
Hi Nikolaj and Roman. It is also the most stamps I ever saw of India, and to think I got them as a gift and now they are mine! I feel very grateful and blessed! Thanks for coming here and for watching and commenting!!!!!!!
Hello, Charnie! A very interesting video and beautiful stamps you showed, I also have stamps from this wonderful country. Thank you for the beautiful stamps that you show, I’m waiting for new videos.
Hi Benjamin, thank you for watching and for your very special, kind comment! At the moment I am identifying the Indian stamps for a next video, but it takes me very long. It is not easy. I don't know Indian stamps, but I like to learn about them. I wish I could see your Indian collection. Have you made a video about it in the past? Maybe you can give me the link and I can watch it. Best wishes!
Holy cow! What a gorgeous collection to be gifted! I'd be over the moon. India stamps are so gorgeous:) O.H.M.S. stands for "on his/her majesty service" usually on correspondence from government departments. Aas far as I know) Love your videos!
Hi Martha! Yes, I will easily jump over the moon with enjoyment to be so privileged to get such a wonderful gift. I treasure it. I agree with you. The more I see of Indian stamps, the more beauty I see in them. They are very special. Thank you for the information about O.H.M.S. You are right again. Joe who gave me the gift replied the same. If you want to, you can read his comment and information (I pinned his comment) about the stamps. Very interesting! I appreciate it so much that you like my videos. Happy collecting! 🙂🙂🙂
@@GreatStampAdventure I forgot to add that your videos make me smile and truly bring me joy every time I see one. The more I learn about stamps, the more I understand history and the more I wish there was a period of time when there wasn't a war somewhere. I never noticed it in Indian stamps. Probably because they were regulated by the British Empire. I'm so bad at history that I need to re-learn what Ghandi was even protesting. He is known world-wide...but I bet one would be hard-pressed to find a handful of "average" people who know or care, these days:/ We all need to learn more about history.
@@Martha-q8p1b Hi again Martha! Wow, thanks so much for your kind comment, and I am truly thankful that you enjoy my videos. Many times I feel they are no good! You can imagine how much your comment means to me. I also LOVE to learn about the stamps and the history!!! I know far too little about history of people, and it is wonderful to see the world in more context. I truly love stamp collecting! So, I agree hundred percent with you! Very, very special wishes and greeting from me to you. 💛🙂
Great stamps, Charnie. Joe was very generous. On HMS means On His/Her Majesty's Service = a stamp for use in government offices (official stamp). Sometimes you also see OHMS. On CGS would be On Cochin Government Service. The Service stamp with the lion statue is also an official stamp. Doctor Hanson was the person who discovered that leprosy was the result of a bacillus. Leprosy is also called Hanson's disease.
Hi Steve, I enjoyed receiving this huge stamp gift with joy and Joe is certainly generous, and so are you!🙂Thank you so, so much for the information! I appreciate it so much. I will work the information into the video in which I plan to give more information about India's history and more information about the stamps. I hope you are fine and well! Special wishes to you! 🙂
Namaste, Camiel! I didn't think I would become very interested in Indian stamps, but the more I learn about the stamps and about the history of India, the more it fascinates me. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!!
Hi Charnie A very much enjoyed this video (I love all your videos) - I especially like Indian stamps a lot and I immensely enjoyed looking at these - wonderful !!!!

Hey charnie, great video again, they are a really good lot of stamps joe sent you, very generous of him, was nice going through them with you, take care ps. If you look at the stamps carefully you will see the dates on actually printed on them I think that began in either the 60s or 70s!
Hello Schuey, you are like my friend visiting! 🙂Thank you again for watching and for your kind comment! 🙂I saw dates on some of the stamps, but when showing the stamps I usually miss them, and they might be very small. 🙂Working through the stamps again, I will certainly sort them according to dates issued. ... The gift from Joe is certainly generous and wonderful. I feel almost too privileged to receive these gifts. You must take care as well!
Hello Sharni. A friend sent you very beautiful and interesting stamps from India. I watched your review with great interest. Thank you very much for your review. Of course, like in support. I wish you all the best.

Have you shown your Indian stamps yet, Jerry? Sorry if I forgot or missed it! I love that stamp gift I got from Joe! Thanks so, so much for watching and commenting! Always nice to see you here! 🙂
Some of the Indian stamps are awesome. I don't have a huge collection of so it was wonderful to see you showcase so many of them. I love the old stamps especially when you think of the history behind them. Have an awesome day!💥From Fun At Home (supporting content creators)☮
It was the largest collection of Indian stamps I saw so far as well. I was overwhelmed by the generous gift. I really also enjoy some of the stamps very much. Some are pretty unique. I hope you enjoy your weekend so far! Take care!!!
The "One Puttan" stamp (13:04) was issued by the princely state of Cochin (South India) in the 1890s. I've heard these stamps are of immense value. You should get a proper valuation done by an expert when you visit any exhibitions in future.
Hi Benny, thank you for watching and for your interesting comment! Wow, if the stamp is really worth so much I must return it to Joe! I will find out more about it. I will also ask Joe about it. If you are interested you could possibly read the comment by Joe (I pinned it). He gave a lot of information about the stamps he sent me. But I think you know a lot as well! Very best greetings to you and happy collecting!!!!!! 🙂
@@GreatStampAdventure @bennyjoyson8384 Cochin issued its first stamp in 1892 with values of 1/2, 1, and 2 puttans, these are common as it is printed on wove paper with no watermark or with a large umbrella, in this the One puttan imperf between vertical pair is expensive which is SG 2a and are extremely rare to come by, the 1893 1/2 puttan orange/yellow issues are costly as it is printed on Laid paper. Thank you Charnie and Benny!😊
Hi Alexey, thank you so much for watching and commenting, even during troubled times! I hope your well and safe. The stamps are indeed wonderful, and it gave me much joy to work through them. Special greetings here from New Zealand. 🙂
Hi Venugopal, I guess you must have many other Indian stamps as well which I don't have. I start to find the Indian stamps very interesting. Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
