ISSUED ON 2 JAN INDIA SERVICE SIMPLIFIED SET OF 13 IN INDIA

Set of 13 mounted mint stamps from the Service Issue with a mix of paise, anna and rupee values Manik Jain Number S166-S179 with a catalogue value of un-monted mint set as INR /- (I would say under-cataloged for a fine unmounted mint white gum set) This just misses one shade of the 4Anna value (the lake colored 4Anna value S172 is there and the Ultramarine shade of 4Anna value S173 is missing) The unmounted set should retail at at least INR /- (white gum, pristine condition) and this set is mounted on the pages with clear pure white gum. Please look at the images for a closer inspection. Fresh colors and pristine gum with minor hinge adherence. I will start this auction at INR /- and will be happy if it sells at the same price.  Please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any. What you see is what you get !!!
