Ok since Egypt is in the news lately, I thougt I would post this and ask. I think it's Egypt and about 1955. Can anyone tell me anything about this cover. Does anyone collect these. I have about 15 similar, some different stamps, but similar time frame (I think). Thanks in advance - Jeff

I would like to know what the left most handstamp is. The other two are postmarks, but what's the odd man out? Censor or customs? Again people do collect them..not so much from Egypt at them moment since their Internet is down. I usually see these at the $1 to $5 range depending on clarity of postmarks, stamps used and other labels and handstamps.

Battlestamps, I don't know what the marking is, but a similar one is on all the letters I have. - Jeff
