Cancellation Types are described according to the categorisation by Neil Donaldson in his excellent "The Postal Agencies of Eastern Arabia and the Gulf" (1975) and its "Supplement" (1994).

There are pictures of many of the items but, rather than have readers waiting a long time for all of the pictures to come in, I leave it to you to click on "view" to pull down photos of the items which interest you. Some of the pictures are a bit dark when viewed at my regular "working brightness" but just turning up the brightness shows the details far better.
