I have not seen this type of angled cancel before; can someone tell me what this is, perhaps a revenue cancel or some special marking? Thanks.

Not a cancel, IMO, just ink lines. Perhaps a larger unit of stamps on a parcel was cancelled by crossing with ink.

Maybe, Arno; I think the CDS cancel remnant is over that angled strike, so it may indeed be something other than a postal cancel.

With the unevenness of the lines, and smeared ink under the apex of the angle (I used that twice today!), looks like a pen cancellation to me, maybe a revenue usage?

re: India odd cancel ID

The only thing is, Michael, there is a partial CDS that looks like a postal cancel; it would not have both a postal and fiscal cancel. I wonder if Arno's correct, that maybe this was part of a larger package, where the CDS appears on some stamps and someone further canceled the others. The 5R value tells me this was not a letter but was likely part of a parcel.

Still, I've not seen such a symmetrical angled cancel before; usually they just mark roughly over all the uncanceled stamps.

re: India odd cancel ID

I don't think mine is a box cancel; the angle is too acute. Check it out:

re: India odd cancel ID

i initially suspected a box cancel, such as favored by Canadians, but, like Peter, noted its acute angle.
