I have an unknown stamp here that seems to be from Iran from around 1900, any help with exact ID would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hi Rolci, welcome to the forum!
Your stamp is from 1941, an official, SG cat number is 0839 in my old Stamps of the World. Minimum value I'm afraid! Hope this helps.

Hi David, thanks for the reply, that was my first thought too, however you will notice that unlike in the 1941 set http://www.ebay.com/itm/Persia-Iran...381751590889 where the leaf motifs are just outside the oval in the middle, in my stamp the motifs actually touch the coorners, with the writing under them on the top and over on the bottom, rather than in between, as in the '41 set. That leaves my stamp still unidentified... :(

Yep, my mistake. Just a quick look and missed the detail!
Not a clue then, sorry, maybe a revenue?
