Fellow grades stamps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

franks

'stamps' is the definition.
(franking is a kind of stamping)

'fellow grades' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'grades' becomes 'ranks' ('rank' can be a synonym of 'grade').
'f'+'ranks'='FRANKS'

(Another definition for franks that I've seen is " old European people".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
