Understand this is from Cassā de la Selva, a municipality in the comarca of the Girončs in Catalonia

Can any of our Spanish friends or Spain experts tell me any more about it?
Very light weight paper. Is it legit?

Sorry Jamesw, but, I can't find your stamp in my Edfil Catalogue. It must be a very localized item to be listed in it (?)

Hi James, it's a local tax stamp issued during the civil war (1936-1939) in the Catalan town of Cassā de la Selva.
Nearly every town in Catalonia issued its own war tax stamps, to rise money for air-raid shelters or to take care of refugees. Not listed in Edifil, but in specific war or local stamps catalogs.
To me, it looks ok. Not so rare/expenssive to forger.
