I recently received this beautiful stamp. I tried looking for information on it , but just could not pull any info on it. I wanted to know its year, ,origin,etc. Actually, several stamps I was having trouble with, but I'll start with this.

Wow those look amazing. I had to really get a good look at my stamp to note it was a portrait of a man. Thank you very much for showing.

Hi Rodney

Actually I did not have anything to comment on until this issue. I have been reading though, just did not log on.

Some of the stamps have the Blue Winchester Security Paper so prominent, that the stamp itself is difficult to discern.

Hi jkblue

Printing blue on blue tends to do that, blend in.

Same problem with some of the early Colombia printed on colored paper.
