  saurashtra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Saurashtra (also Soruth and Sorath) is a former state of India, located on the Kathiawar peninsula of western India.
The issue of 1877 was the first to include Latin letters; the circular design included the inscription "SORUTH POSTAGE" at the top, and "ONE ANNA OF A RUPEE" (or "FOUR ANNAS...") at the bottom.
The united state did not design any of its own stamps, but before adopting the stamps of India, Saurashtra issued a court fee stamp overprinted for postal use, then created more 1-anna stamps by surcharging three stamps of the 1929 issue.

Fergus, however, was nowhere to be found when the time came, so Soruth London, another citizen well-acquainted with the staves, was asked to take his place, and accepted.
To the staff-bearers—Truth, Cloud, and Soruth London—I granted significant rewards of fame, although such rewards hardly begin to describe the sacrifices they made, both yesterday (for they all died on the tower top) and over the months since Harris moved to Magincia.
Hours of waiting outside his office, days of transporting him in search of the staves, and weeks of research on his behalf can hardly be repaid in one moment, but I felt a symbolic recognition of their work was much-needed.

There is no doubt that such dubious items will be finding their way onto the British market with increasing frequency in the future.
Frank Huxley, the Editor of Geosix, the journal of the KG VI Collectors Society, reported in the September 1999 edition that he had seen cancels on Soruth, Bahawalpur and Bundi, in fl or green (!), which had evidently been produced by inking coins and applying them to stamps.
He illustrated a Soruth stamp which showed most of the coin, including the value, which was a bit of a giveaway.
