Looing to ID this stamp that I took from a collection that dates in the 1850's. No idea about possible country - maybe someone here knows more about it. Thanks

It bears a strong resemblance to the Russian (Imperial) coat of arms.

In the Scott catalog, you will find the stamp at the beginning of the Bosnia and Herzegovina listings. You will have to measure the perforations and check to see whether lithographed or typographed to make the final ID.

It should be a variety of #1. The color seems a little off, but it doesn't look like a reprint.
