Hi Everyone, I really like this stamp but I don't know what country it is from. Also, I find the image very interesting. Also, I am wondering what language, and what does it read, and those two chandelier like images on both side. If anyone can help, I thank you in advance! Sue (SueStamps)   |

Turkey - Scott # B46. The catalogue I have in my office (2006) gives it a value of .70
Cheers!

Thank you so much for the replies!
Can anyone tell me how or where to find this stamp in the Scott Catalog? I have tried to look under TURKEY, but I can't find it.
Also, what is the image of?
Thank you thank you!

It's with the semi-postals of Turkey, just past the regular issues. The subject is a soldier's farewell. |

Sue,
Semi-postal stamps, or stamps with a surcharge (read: tax), are listed by Scott with a prefix of 'B'. Admittedly, I didn't know this was a semi-postal until looking through the catalogue, but I am now used to the idea of looking in the back-of-book for stamps I can't find in the main section.

Thanks to all for the information.
My problem is.... I can't figure out WHERE the country of Turkey is in the Scott Catalog. I know that sounds silly, but it's true. I have theee worst time trying to find countries in the Scott Catalogs.
I looked in Volume Six (2007 electronic catalog) under the section "T" but it goes from the country TRANSVAAL to TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
I looked in the INDEX and it just says VOLUME 6.
I wonder if there is some sort alphabetical listing some where online, sort of like a cheat sheet / help list of countries and in which volume they are located?
Thanks again!

isn't there a table of contents in each volume?
I only have the US Specialized so I'm not sure about the rest of them but I'd be surprised if there isn't one |

Check the page numbers of your catalogue, they're at the top of each page, right after Transvaal should be Tunisia, are you missing some pages? |
