Nice looking stamp. Now since you posted it how would you grade the centering on this one?

You did a pretty good job, some may even go to VF but I would agree your grading on the centering.

Now do you think it is sound, faulty or defective.

Not sure if it has a crease or just looks like one?

Sound. No crease. That's the print. Also unique don't you think.

I like it but to be honest it is out of my world of knowledge so I don't know about the stamp. I wouldn't mind having one like this in my collection either.

It looks like it might have a pulled perf? If so it would be a fault.

I will say to me the eye-appeal is great for this stamp. Thanks for sharing and now you have graded your own stamp.

I think it is a Iraq 1918 SG8 6a. The one I found went for around $2.50

Here is the link - same stamp just a different number than what Tony has. But like I said I am not into these stamps so he could be right and the seller could be wrong on the number.
