#33 a regular postal 3 Annas and an official stamp (note the overprint) an O12 and I truly stand to be corrected.

Another Feudatory State India dated the 1920's basically. Postage 18-23 Officials 18-34....1900's that is.

SRI Rama Varma the Second is who's portrait this is.....Not sure who he was, so if you came up with this on a search for him, please leave a comment.




I gotta admit, I think turbins are cool. I wish I could where one without standing out in the crowd!!! Though this looks like more of a crown. I just happened to think of that.
