Gandhi Specimen Stamp : Is it real or !!

Hello Gandhi Stamp Collectors,

A specimen stamp is a postage stamp or postal stationery indicium sent to postmasters and postal administrations so that they are able to identify valid stamps and to avoid forgeries. The usual method of invalidating the stamps is either overprinting in ink or perforating the word Specimen across the stamp. (From Wikipedia)

Not sure how postmaster or postal administrators will validate stamp or identify forgery using following Specimen stamp with all kind of missing information such as issuing country, value of stamp etc....!!!

Do you think you can validate stamp using following Specimen stamp.?

When I saw above Gandhi Specimen stamp I was surprised because it has no country name, no value of stamp and even looks like specimen is printed on the stamp instead of overprinting or perforating.!!

I have following questions for this Specimen Stamp before we can consider this a Genuine stamp as well as Specimen stamp.

If anyone has more info then please let me know so I can add to this blog post so it will be helpful for all gandhi stamp collectors.

1) Is this a real stamp or just a label.?
2) If real stamp (SPECIMEN) then how it is available in blocks or sheets.!! ? Not sure whether they were sending one stamp or whole sheet to postmasters.!!?
3) Is this error stamp? ( missing lot of printing before it is made SPECIMEN)?
4) Which country issued this stamp? (Only Great Britain don't have country name on the stamp).
5) What is face value of this stamp ? (no info at all!!)
6) Which year it was issued or government planning to issue this stamp?
7) If stamp was officially printed but not issued then how it is available to general public? (Don't you think it should be government property)

Currently 59 stamps is selling on ebay for $7000 - 9900!!

Will you pay this amount to add this in collection.!!?

Ashoka Watermark paper means this stamp should be printed in INDIA ?

Is this official usage of Emblem of India on stamp sheet paper ?

If you like this blog post then please read my other blog post related to SPECIMEN Gandhi stamps.

Thanks

What a difference in 1948 Gandhi Stamp Value - Gandhi Stamps is really for Investment.!!

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

To understand properly about this blog post please read my previous previous blog post written in May 2011 about "Nepal Indian Embassy Mahatma Gandhi 1948 Cover (FDC) with 1.5 Anna Gandhi stamp".

In this blog post you can see there were 12-13 buyers out of which I question 50% buyer ebay id !!!

Last week on ebay buyer "e***p (559)" aka "Speedbird1*" won Nepal Indian Embassy Mahatma Gandhi 1948 Cover for just $37. !!

Don't know why buyer paid $37 for this.!!

Incredible price compare to previous auction.!! One of the lowest I have ever seen in last 3 years.

What a Great value compare to previous auction in April 2011 and what a loss on Investment by "srm2382" & "adianil".

Both this ebay bidders bought Nepal Gandhi Cover in April for whooping $155. Really feel sorry for them if it is REAL deal.!!!!!

It's like 400% loss on investment.!! in just 4 months. For me it's 200% loss as I bought it for $80!!. If I have buy it now I will not buy this at all. It's piece of ......!!!

I am not sure that at $37 is also a good value for this cover!!

But's it's buyer choice to pay even after my blog post so now I am more curious whether they got my information or something else.!!

Not sure why "e***p" (speedbird1*) started bidding since auction start and last seconds bidding by "t***8 (2098)", "s***v (581)" and "t***6 (176)".

Also not sure whether my previous blog helps this bidders or not to decide the price on this Nepal stamps first day cover.
