No problem. Glad to help.

Such is life when you get a new sultan!

If you look at the 'tughra' - in the circle on the left side/middle of the stamp:

The one on the top has the sultan's 'mark' - at app 2 o'clock in the circle. On the one on the bottom, you'll see it has disappeared...

The one on top was issued in Jan 1914. The one on the bottom wasn't issued until early 1920 - more than 7 years later...

The biggest difference is obviously the color!

Two different Turkey :

haha. See it can be fun.

On my monitor, those turkeys are the same colors. I see no differences?!

There's a whole separate thread on turkeys....obviously a major interest among our members! I'll stop thinking of Turkeys as a waste of time - clearly an overlooked collecting area!?!

mdroth, you are the expert on Turkey stamps etc.
Thanks !! appreciate......sometimes we like it simple in North America (Canada for me)

Cheers !
