Hi Rod,
Quote:Members : Still looking for Revenues ID List, if possible..... (Damga Pulu, Harc Pulu seen on 1962 Visa )
https://goscf.com/t/50933&whichpage=12#446783 I missed this when you first posted it.
Damga Pulu = Revenue Stamp
These vertical stamps are from a long set of General Revenue stamps that used a number of similar vertical designs and were first issued in 1925.
McDOnald gives a long listing, #33 to #76 plus "a" numbers for shades and even then he doesn't list all the perf variations for each value.
Most values come without watermarks but for these he just lists six different perforations in the header (rather like the way Scott often does).
He then lists separately by perforation stamps with a star and crescent watermark.
I hope Isfila is more specific about this. I would prefer to see explicit tables of value by perf the way Michel tends to treat complex perf designs.
Your three stamps are:
#33 10 paras olive-sepia
#34 10 paras brown-ochre
#35 20 paras orange
Harch Pulu = Expenditure Stamp
These come from a long set of Expenditure Fees stamps in a single design issued over many years starting in 1934.
McDOnald gives another long listing, #35 to #785 plus "a" and "b" numbers for shades but this time he lists the issues by perf. He also lists some stamps that have a yellow or blue underprint.
He says these are found on thin, medium and thick papers but these are not listed separately.
The 1 kurus stamp here has no underprint and could be:
#35 reddish violet perf 12
#35a slate-lilac perf 12
#36 purple perf 12
#63 purple perf 10
#70 purple perf 10x12
This 1 lira stamp with a nice yellow underprint is from the 1950s:
#52 dark green & yellow perf 12
