Any help with identifying these is much appreciated.

I cannot find this one listed under Germany.


I am guessing this is a revenue stamp that is not listed in Scott.

I cannot find this one listed under Venezuela.


Is this even a stamp?


No idea even what country to look under.

That "German" one looks to be from Checkoslovakia - must be an occupation stamp. Look under Bohemia and Moravia, 1943.

The last one was issued in 1913 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty. Russia.

@Petert4522: Thanks for the help. But I do not think that the Bolivar is Sc 268, as when I compare my stamp with the image in Scott (A43)



they are different. Specifically, the title plate above the portrait is curved in A43, while on my stamp it is rectilinear. Also the scrolling around the portrait and the value boxes is different.

Or is what I am seeing a variation in the design that is not provided by Scott, but that I am supposed to realize is close enough to my stamp, and hence I am expected to conclude that it is 268?

OK, I went to http://stampworld.com to find this and I think it is the same as yours. It is the high value in a set and the denomination is indicated as 1B.
On stampworld it says that there are "different frames" in this set. Your example above is the denomination under the 1B. I have no Scott, but could it be Scott 269?

Rod, with all due respect but I think you have some stamps of two different sets there?

Broadly, there are three different groups for this design:

(i) August 1915-November 1923. Recess by the American Bank Note Company;
(ii) (a) 1924. Redrawn. Recess by Waterlow. p14;
(ii) (b) 1925 -28. As (ii) (a), but p 12 1/2; and
(iii) 1939. Recess by Waterlow. New values and colours. p12 1/2.

There is then the further issue (1932-38) on paper with theWinchester Security Paper surface imprint (p 12 1/2).

Hi Peter,
thank you for your polite "heads up"

I cannot see your suggestion, page looks OK to me, If you still think I am out,
please advise where I may have gone awry.
(Wouldn't be the first time I have made a boo boo)

My impression, the stamps are all of the same vignette, Scott / SG suggests "differeing frames"

.........over to you.
