1871, (1288), Sher Ali, Lion Issue, printed “Kingdom of Kabul”, over seventy singles and one cover, being a study of the varieties of the shahi, sanar, and abasi denominations, typically cancelled with corner bite, some further cancelled in manuscript typical of Kabul or red smear cancel of Peshawar, note interesting combination usage of two 1sa (Pl. B and C) and 1ab (Pl. C) on piece cancelled with manuscript markings of Tashkurghan, 1872 cover from Peshawar, condition varies dramatically as typical of these issues, an ideal reference or nucleus for an expanded study. (Scott ex 1-7)

1871, (1291), Sher Ali, Lion Issue, mostly mint, with 1ab (4, two being used), 1/2rup (1), and 1rup (2), mounted and identified per plate position, condition mixed, a useful group of this difficult issue, with Dietrich noting “their usage seems to have been comparatively small.” (Afghan Philately, 1871-1989)

1871, (1290), Sher Ali, Lion Issue, mostly used, with nearly forty stamps from Plate A and nearly sixty from Plate B, including two pairs, a strip of three, and strip of four, all written-up on album pages and identified by sheet position, most cancelled by tearing a portion of stamp, some further cancelled in manuscript or with red ink smear, varied condition, but a useful study, rarely offered in such quantity (ex Scott 10-11)

1876, (1293), Sher Ali, “Post Office” Issue, lithographed in Kabul, in colour on white ground, mounted and annotated by denomination, shade, and plate position, approximately eighty stamps including one used pair, with a range of shades noting an extensive variety of greys, several purple singles, including 1sh denomination, and others with distinct rectangular ring-seal or ampersand-style markings of  Tashkurghan, range of greenish shades typical of those examples sold in Kabul, many with red smear cancels of Peshawar, etc, condition varies significantly, an ideal study lot for the specialist. (ex Scott 29-53)

1877 (1294), “Second Post Office” issue, sheet of 40 in ocher (Dietrich “yellow” shade), used in Jalallabad, composed of 25x1sh, 8x1sa, 3x1ab, and two each of 1/2rup and 1rup, printed in eight rows of five on vertically laid paper, without gum as issued, fresh colour, folded between rows 5 and 6, a fine and scarce sheet. (ex Scott 69-73)

1877, (1294), Sher Ali, “Second Post Office” Issue, lithographed in Kabul, with twenty three singles, one tied to piece by manuscript, mostly grey or greenish shades, note two examples in black, the origins of which have been much debated by specialists from Masson-Jones to Boggs to Dietrich, varying condition, a fascinating group.
