My current guess is Syria, but I can't find this stamp in the front or back of Scott's Syrian section. I also scoured Libya. Any ideas? Also, does "droit fiscal" indicate this is a tax stamp or something else?

Thanks! At least I was in the right part of the world with Syria. And now I know that the Cedar is a symbol of Lebanon - I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Scott doesn't seem to cover these, so I will put it in a marked envelope for further research someday.

It would be tempting to add to the set, but I have plenty of cheaper stuff to work on for a long time. Also, I have no price reference for this type of stamp.
