1902 (c.) 'Father Simons' double foolscap sheet, meticulously ruled and handwritten in red, with 35 1878-94 'New rectangulars' (including 13 Officials) hinged in place and identified (not always correctly!) and his 'mission statement'. Folded, with some small faults, but a fascinating item. Better stamps include 1878-79 2a red on medium wove (SG 120) and 1887-94 Official 2a black on thin laid (SG O15).   
   
XXX Italics please - Father Simons had bought the remainder stock from the J&K post office, not realising that the early issues were mostly reprints or forgeriesXXX
