I have recently been going through my old stamps (been 20+ years since looking through them) and found this stamp I can't identify. It is really hard to see the faint image in the middle, so I put the stamp under a microscope for better clarity. Can someone tell me what this is?
Looks like an Italian postage due. I was wrong. It is an 1861 Italian regular stamp wth the likelyness of King Victor Emanuel II on it. In good shape it would brong around 9 dollars - this one is not very healthy.
Yes, the postmark looks genuine, maybe you have the "deep blue" First stamp I have seen, of this collecting area (Neopolitan Provinces) in 20 years of collecting.
Pmk : 15th August 1862 ?
