The Icons would suggest peace and
freedom from hunger.

What country would readers suggest?

Looks like a Swedish cinderella promoting peace for future generations.

If you are using Google translate, there is an umlaut over the "ä" in släkten. Google translate doesn't handle missing diacritical marks very well and will often give you the wrong translation. Other sites, such as http://en.bab.la will automatically convert/guess missing diacritical marks.

Hi, yiran, welcome.

The Google translate service doesn't do this justive I am afraid.

Fred at Kommande Slakten
Svenska
Freds din Skiljedomsforeningen

(not sure of three letter word's correct spelling)
translates to
Peace at Upcoming Slaughter
Swedish
Peace your Arbitration Association

when using Swedish as a language. German, Danish and Nrwegian do not work to translate this to English. I do not speak Swedish nor any of the other languages so cannot read into the phrasing the context meant.

So this , so far, seems to be a cinderella stamp from Sweden talking about (perhaps) an upcoming rally or gathering or any gathering in the future and promoting the use of the Arbitration Association to arbitrate such matters rather than have it all descend into you losing and them losing.

How's that for reading between the lines?

Thank you khj, much better than reading between the lines.

I wonder if the grain or corn represents the growth of peace or of the future?

The cinderella says:

Peace for Future Generations

Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society

See http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svensk...3%B6reningen. The website is in Swedish, so you will probably need a translator interface.

Well I'm glad this one doesn't say "do not make counterfeit stamps" on it... or does it?
