The Stamps Of Turkey / Turkiye: On Steiner Pages.

Nice idea Michael but the font looks different to me.

Hmmmm.....

Font looked right to me, until I saw it side-by-side with the one Rod posted!

Clearly looks like a partial 'Sivas' overprint - but may be a test run for someone who made their own 'overprint' stamp to use?!

That's what passed my mind.....am I cynical?

I may be talking to myself here, but, coincidentally, having mentioned Pamuk's book about Istanbul a few days ago, I watched a piece about him on BBC1's Imagine series on Saturday, which complements the book rather well. Available on the BBC iPlayer for those in the UK.

I'm not sure which programmes the BBC World site makes available to overseas viewers.

ROD ----Can you scan for me your second page of the semi-postals of Turkey on the steiner pages . The page will have B23 on it .

FT,
Sc# B23 is bottom left.
Turkey semi postals 1915,
Steiner Page 56.

Thanks ROD --I had something screwed up . Got it corrected after seeing your page .

ROD ---Just to let you know I just won at auction a comprehensive BULLHEADS collection of Turkey . I should receive them tomorrow . The first thing I want to do is sort out any fakes and then mount them on Steiner pages . I chose the lot of BULLHEADS over many other items that were in the auction of Turkey lots only because I never seen them come up as a separate lot in a major auction . I seen the Sultan's visit to Macedonia overprints come up a few times and other better Turkey items but never the BULLHEADS ,so I reached out and fought for them .

I hope to display them here in a week or two .

That's par for the course FT, Michael (mdroth) corrected me, when I screwed up the very same stamp.
Scott is a bit curly in their ID of some of the opts.

Wow! good luck for "Oxheads" (as I refer to them)
Very hard to get indeed.

I passed on numerous pages from my dealer, about 4 years ago, I wasn't sufficiently aware of those pages at the time.
I thought "Oh, I'll get to them later".........Hmmm, bad choice.

Look forward to seeing them, takes time to really get in order.
Happy to buy any duplicates you may have.

Found this in a stamp shop in Ankara yesterday. It was the right price! Never saw these stamps before - anyone care to help with an ID / info??

Impressed Duty Revenues 1924.

Thanks Rod! My revenue cat has them - listed at 10 Euro cut & 20 Euro as entires. Doesn't seem to mention both of them on one doc.

Any idea what the Belgium cancellations are for??

These are stock certificats from the Belgian Company:Compagnie industrielle du levant
