Large Pakistan collection has approximately 400 stamps and 24 album pages. Nearly equal blend of mint and postally used stamps with some also never-hinged. The collection begins with Balawalpur #1-12, which has a catalogue value of $57.50. While the collection has many Regular Issue sets, much of its value lies in a nice selection of Official stamps. Other Highlights include a mint #O20 and postally used #O31 with a combined value of $49.
One of the earliest civilizations, Indus Valley developed in the area that is now Pakistan around 2,500 B.C. From that time on, many different groups of people conquered and settled the region. The first wave of invaders came from Asia. Then the Persians made the area part of the powerful Achaemid Empire. Alexander the Great, King of the Macedonians, whose empire centered in what is now Greece, conquered the area in 326 B.C. From that time, Pakistan was occupied by the Maurya Empire, followed by the Greek state of Bactria, the Scythians, the Parthians, the Kushans, the Gupta Empire, and then the Huns.
The Arabs brought Islam to the area in 711 A.D. From this time forward, various Muslim powers ruled, culminating in the Mogul Empire’s domination. British influence of Pakistan began in the 1500s and lasted until 1947. In 1956, the modern republic was formed.
In late 1998, hostilities between Pakistan and neighboring India grew to a fevered pitch. Each began conducting nuclear tests, in an attempted show of force to the other. A Pakistani naval plane was shot down by India. India claimed the aircraft was a spy plane on an intelligence mission in Indian air space. The Pakistani government denied this, saying the plane was on a training mission, well within its borders. Several days later, Pakistani soldiers fired on an Indian plane supposedly in Pakistani air space. India claimed the plane was surveying the wreckage of the Pakistani planes and had not violated foreign air space. Time has only increased the tension in this volatile region.
