Seek Pmk Identification. Possibly an RPO / TPO ?

Your two 1981 stamps were issued singly as SG2733 and SG2737, and also appeared in a mini-sheet, as shown below. Your 35 Lira stamp with the tab has definitely come from the mini-sheet.

You have done it again, 22crows, havn't you ?

Pulled the rabbit out of the hat. Thank you.

Your Minisheet / Souvenir sheet is not listed in my Scott.

Varieties of Sc#2194

1981

I'll wait till / if I get the 2 miniature sheets.

Otherwise the 7½ Lira stamp is possibly a chemically / light altered stamp.

Going from Fawn to an Olive green.

Colour changeling...........Fawn to Olive Green (loss of pigment) or possibly bleach in the soak water?

Comments on 3 of your stamps here on pg 16:

1) The sheet of airmails - very cool! Never saw one before. Looks like some kind of proof sheet or souvenir created for the issue...

2) The 1pi blue imperf: you are right on the money. It is a cutout from postal stationery. There are 2 listed, both issued in 1916. The first is AN140, which is 'grey paper with silk threads'. The second is AN 141, which states 'grey-green granite-like paper'. Hard to tell from a cutout, but based on your picture of the back, I'm going to go with AN140, as there are clearly silk threads present. (or so it appears?) AN140 seems much scarcer - mint value for mint entires is TL 300 for AN140 & TL180 for AN141.

3) The (3) 1981 issues celebrating Ataturk's 100th birthday are very annoying. There was the set of stamps; the small mini-sheet; and the large mini-sheet. Neither Scott nor Isfila lists the large mini-sheet. (Don't know about more recent Isfila - mine is 2011 - my guess is they'll cover this, if not already done.) The 'green' version - esp given it is used - appears to have changed color a bit.

Even more interesting - compare this issue to Scott #841. (Or your 6ks Ataturk stamp on this page - all part of the same series) You'll notice that when they issued the stamps for the first anniversary of Ataturk's death, in 1939/early 1940 - they had his birthday listed as 1880. Then, by the 100th anniversary of his birth, in 1981, they had changed to 1881. (They didn't keep good records - the actual date of birth - somewhere between 1880-1881 - is very much still in question!)

Thanks for all that Michael, Super.

The "Black Print" I did not purchase, too expensive for me, and damaged
If you would like to see first hand.....

The silver rivets are off putting as well.

Thanks for the help on the Stationery, which I can put to bed,

No wonder I was scratching my head. Well done to 22Crows.
