Not sure but that looks like an Egyptian eagle. Pardon my ignorance, it knows no bounds, but is that Hebrew on the upper stamp? It's not a very clear scan.
I think you may be right with Egypt...I'll try and get a better picture of the first one...I'm not sure if its hebrew..thats why its on here now! Lets see if we'll find out :)
The top "stamp" is actually the tab from an Israeli stamp honoring Rabbi Alkalai. Those are the years he lived. I'll see if I can pilfer a pic showing the stamp with the tab.
The quick way to distinguish is the stars in the middle. In the Egypian coat of arms, when the stars are included (and they are not always there), there will be 2 stars. Syrian coat of arms will have either 2 stars or 3 stars. Since you stamp shows 3 stars, it must be Syrian.
I was trying to think of something witty! ha! we know what you meant james Thanks for the picture and the info! Seems as though my "favorites book" is going to become larger than the collection itself...hmmm
