Russia - offices abroad - Turkey/Ottoman Empire. this issue is from 1918, part of a fair sized series. they are listed in one of Soloviev's catalogs (as #n13, as per this auction http://www.delcampe.net/page/item/i...guage,E.html ), but not sure which exact one.
The overprint stands for the Russian Steam Navigation and Trading Company. If I am not mistaken, Scott's Classics Catalogue mentions them (but does not catalogue them), but I unfortunately don't have my Scott catalogue available to confirm.
