Testing : The Levant Mail Routes. (printed 1915) Large Map, stitched by Don, (Thanks  ) came back as 4Mb, I saved as *.jpg down to 1.2 Mb. Seeing if Optimiser works on that size. Any members wanting "blow ups" of any portion of the map, just ask. No reference to the DBSR on the map.  ) |

Rod,
Just so happens my wife is Turkish and she is from Trabzon. We visited a few years back, nice city. We were at the very lake in the picture!

Wow. Bingo! Chris.
Fascinating history of Trebizond. Once an Empire.
I thought that picture of the Lake was beautiful.
Last evening had Lentil, Potato and Silverbeet Dhal, with Turkish Bread...Mmm

Ok, Rod (and everyone else), You inspired me with this thread to "get into Turkey" a bit more seriously. I printed out some Steiner pages and started trying to organize my Turkish stamps, but I need some help (already!). The overprint on these two stamps looks like the 1867 series (compared to the 1865 or 1874-75 series), so maybe Scott# 16 and 17? But at least for #16, it says it was never placed in use (and my stamps are clearly used). Sorry if this is a "rookie" question    |

We all started from where you are, took me months to get a handle on early Turkey, and I am still learning. You have Sc#10 and Sc#11  PS: In this set, always check varieties "Star without Rays" This may help Chris.  |
