I have been able to find some similar stamps on the web that suggest this might be a Hungarian Newspaper stamp, but nothing has been a real match. I think it is so amusing that the crown of St Stephen has the cross on top tilted the wrong way!! Can anyone help me catalog this stamp and get a near value. Thanks Jeff

I think that it is amusing because it appears to be printed on reptile skin

The background design is from the leaf of a tree.

Thanks BeeSee, make a nice revisit.

Your Revenue design not shown,
maybe an 1880 in this list,
just a guess

Rod, you have the page there, does the cross on St Stephen's crown have a tilt or is it my imagination that it is straight up, or should I even care in the illustration? Does this help with the color. I really have trouble but it looks more green than black to me - Jeff

Yes, the crown should be tilted.

Unless you are a real specialist,
I would accept colours as described unless
really obvious errors.
That certainly could be black.
I use a SG catalogue, "simplified"
and the colours therein are diabolical,
I have learnt to dismiss or at lease bend to
large degrees in colour descriptions.

Your piece of paper there has been changing
hands for 130 years.
It's probably feeling off colour.

More than that, it is a "mutilation"
it has been hacked by scissors.

Thanks Rod. I can live with 1880 #8, although I am not going to be the one that tells it that it is hacked and mutilated, bad enough it feels 130 years old.

Yep, they are good for study,
but as long as you are aware of their status
The truth shouldn't hurt,
let's face it, it was probably on a document once,
and a kid hacked it off with scissors.
Now you may rue the action, but had he not done so
the example may have been thrown in the bin

Some of the rarest valuable stamps, are nibbled
torn and abused, just part of life.
