Unfortunately I don't have recent enough Scott catalogs to look these up.
The first one looks like a flag stamp. It is interesting in that the years are listed 1950 - 1940.
From the inscription on the second stamp, apparently it shows some aspect of "Life in Pre-Oil Kuwait." Not clear to me what that is, some sort of medical treatment?
Quote: It is interesting in that the years are listed 1950 - 1940.
Arabic text reads from Right to left, but numbers (as within Roman text) have the most significant digit to the left. So 19m50 - 1940 is how the period would have been written, if in Arabic.
Metalman, the flag stamp is listed in Michel Gulf States 2013, issued 15 Oct 2005, Mi 1827 (cat. Value €2,00 used) and SG Arabia 2016 SG1831 £10 used). The other stamp in set of six, second set depicting life before oil was issued1Sept 1998, and is Mi 1590 (c.v. €0,40), SG 1599 (£0.75).
Rod222, Dromedary 50 fils is listed in both Michel (Mi 1301 €0,80 used) and SG (SG 1306 £1.20). Issued 28March 1992. I have others of this set in genuine used condition, so I see no reason why this should not be too.
I would probably go with the 1992 issue date given in Michel. Scott is pretty notorious for having an occasional confusing or erroneous issue date in their worldwide listings.
