Any idea what this could be?
I have tried a few of the usual suspects in the catalogue (Afghanistan, feudal Indian states), but without any results. I don't even know which side goes up!

re: Unknown with Arab script

Hi Jansimon,

These are bogus stamps from the Indian state of Faridkot.

I believe they were sold as souvenirs by the Faridkot post office after the state became a convention state and only used overprinted stamps of India.

re: Unknown with Arab script

Thank you!
I now remember I had another stamp from Faridkot some time ago, different design but sort of the same story. With this information I was able to find some background. They used to be listed in catalogues a long time ago, but were dropped when it became clear they were never used for postage.

Yes you did, Jan. It sits in one of my Cinderella stock books!
