Help: World Stamps Identification

James,

The first one (in the latest photo) is from Egypt. It appears to be an official from United Arab Republic. Scott has this as # O 69 from 1959.

If you have a Scott catalogue the illustrated Identifier in the back of the book helped me identify this by searching similar photos.

Warrehouse, sorry for that last reply, as you must have replied while I was typing my reply! Yes

Bottom stamp is Nepal, 1907.

I am sorry for that last reply, Warrehouse! You must have replied while I was typing my reply! If only I could read Arabic!

Thanks, Hoshbun013! Gosh, I would have never guessed it was from the UAR! Unfortunately, Scott Catalogues aren't overally sold in the UK, so I hope Stanley Gibbons has it listed too! Thanks, GeoffHa! I believe that that is the only Stamp That I own that is from Nepal! Thank you, everyone, for your contribution. It has been very helpful and I am overwhelmed about how helpful everyone on this forum has been!

the top stamp is an Egyptian official stamp issued during the Nasir era. It is either O69, O74 or O83 (per Scott Catalog Numbers) depending on the watermark.

Thanks, DJCMHOH! If I could scan the watermark, please could you tell me its classification? (Scott catalogues aren't easy to find in the UK)

James, you can rule out O83 as that is a different design.

Scott describes the first two stamps identified by DJ as having the following colors: O69-brown violet and O74-dark brown. I don't know how, or if, the watermarks differ.

James,

I overlooked the possibility of Scott O74 in my original post as pointed out by DJCMHOH. As noted Scott does list two stamps with this design:

1 - O69 in brown violet shade with watermark 318 - which appears as a small eagle.

2 - 074 in dark brown shade with watermark 328 - which appears as series of letters (U A R)

Below is photo of each watermark taken from scott.





Hope this helps

KGB, checking the colour, I believe it to be violet-brown and, therefore, Scott O69. Thank you! I'll just check with the watermarks Hobsun013 provided, to confirm.

Yes, having checked the watermark, it is definitely 069, as I can clearly see the Multiple Eagle and the 'Misr'. Thank you so much for your help, KGB and Hobsun013! I'm so glad that this stamp has finally been classified!

3ed stamp second row is Egypt (United Arab Republic Egypt), I have it also
