Post Mark Year - 1891
Note : Although Post Cards were introduced in India in 1879 the card still bears EAST INDIA and the Coat of Arms ( two lions ) of the East India Company whose Rule had ended in 1858 after the The First War of Independence - Mutiny .

Greetings! I recently found a small collection [maybe 100] of postal history items from India in a larger lot that I acquired. Since I know next to nothing about Indian philately, I have been reading online, trying to learn. Your post, which I realize is from 2011, shows a postal card with a Nabha State overprint, similar to one that I have. A second one that I have is overprinted with "Nabha State" in a circular style; the entire overprint [words and coat of arms] is in blue. If you are interested in educating me a little bit, I would love to find out what you know about these items. Thank you for taking time to read this.
