Here are two more Trieste cancels, one spelled the German way without the last "E", and the other spelled the Italian (and current) way.  |

This thread could use a bump. Here is one that I assumed was from Laibach, now I'm having doubts:  |

Nice stamp Cjd. I am sure it is Laibach (now Lubljana, Slovenia), the first word is probably a specific postal area in the city/district. Now is your stamp a type II or III?  |

KÖNIGSWART would fit the visible portions of the remaining letters, so I'm going with it. Looking at that scan again, the extra ink sure makes it look like someone took a little nibble out of the top...
Thanks.
(For anyone scoring at home, Casarsa is in the current region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.) |

Those last two are great cancels Cjd. Casarsa was in Lombardy Venetia. Here are two from Austrian offices in the Turkish Empire. Enough infor for Post office I.D's? For those following the Coarse-Fine thread, the left appears coarse, the right fine (to me!)   |

The postmark on the left is "Durazzo" from Durres in Albania.
The postmark on the right is either "Mersina" from Mersin in Turkey or "Meteline" or "Metelino" from Mytilene on Lesbos.

Andy Taylor recently identified the place name on my first stamp (page 1), the one that reads 'KEMELB.'
It's Kemmelbach, which name back in those days was spelt with only one 'm.'

Gosh, If there were a "Jeopardy" category "historical place names of Europe" you all would be running through it like a knife through hot butter. Or do you have a secret dictionary of historical place names I'm unaware of?
OOps, that "a hot knife through butter" -- This Oregon Chardonnay must have blocked a few of my neural synapses. |

The 5kr stamp may be postmarked Újvidék which is the Hungarian name for Novi Sad which is now in Serbia. |
