Can someone help me identify these 2 stamps. There is probably something I just don't see. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the slightly blurry picture, these stamps look old and are very pale. Thanks.
The Persian stamp is from sometime between 1926-1929. It pictures Riza Shah Pahlavi, and catalogs right around the catalog minimum. (There is a redrawn version of 1928 with less shading, but the easiest way to distinguish them, according to information in Scott Classic, is that the original measures 19.75mm by 25.25mm, while the redrawn version measures 20.25mm by 25.75mm.) The original is Scott 727, and should be magenta, and the reprint is Scott 743, and should be rose.
The Turkey may be #96; if it is, that is also near the catalog minimum.
