I'm having trouble identifying this stamp. Is it Turkey in Asia?

Hi Dave,

It's a Turkish "Receipts and Acquittances" revenue stamp from 1914.

Nigel is - as always - right on the button on the ID.

Can't tell the color - if it's 'rose' - then the cat value is 1 Euro.

But it could also be 'salmon' - in which case the cat value is - 1 Euro. (!)

So to answer your question - I'm going to go with - 1 Euro!

(Is there anything on the back of the stamp?)

mdroth - Nothing on the back of the stamp. It is definitely pink and not salmon.

The McDonald revenue catalogue lists five stamps:

- black on dull rose
- black on pale rose
- black on salmon
- thin paper, black on rose
- thick paper, black on rose

with no other clues as to which is which!
