The Scott catalogue description for this semi-postal stamp is "judo," but it sure looks like karate to me! This stamp was printed by lithography, and issued for use in Netherlands Antilles on February 17, 1982, Scott No. B197.

Thanks nethryk for all of your postings. I also particularly like the added information about designers of the different stamps etc. In my files, I have images for a lot of the stamps, but still a lot I do not have. I was able to add a few that you posted.

I have all the countries listed alphabetically, with images, where available. However, I think it is too large to include here.
it is a 32 pages long Word file

Thanks again.
