Catalogue range: Philatelic Hub PK63–PK64

The 1952 Pakistan stamp issue celebrated the centenary of the Scinde Dawk, the pioneering postal stamp introduced in Sindh in 1852. Issued on 14 August 1952, the two commemorative stamps connect Pakistan’s modern postal service with one of Asia’s earliest adhesive postage systems. Their designs reproduce the historic Scinde Dawk emblem while contrasting older and modern methods of transportation, symbolising a century of progress in communication and mail delivery. The original Scinde Dawk stamps were used on postal routes centred on Sindh and have become internationally recognised rarities of classic philately. By commemorating them, Pakistan highlighted the deep postal heritage associated with territory that became part of the new country. The issue also coincided with Pakistan’s fifth anniversary of independence, giving it both postal and national significance. Philatelic Hub records the two individual stamps as PK63 and PK64 and provides a separate listing for the complete set. Because of its direct connection to nineteenth-century postal history, this compact commemorative set holds special appeal for collectors of Pakistan, British India, Sindh and early Asian postage stamps.
