Indeed Rene,

Isfila TM1-17

Check for thin paper.

Not really, these are devilishly hard to get.....rarely seen at auction
(in my experience)

Rene - on the last group of 7 stamps you've asked about:

(all are in Isfila)

The first 6 are from a series that was issued multiple times, with differing colors & subtle other differences. First few were issued in 1954; then a larger series in 1957 & then another in 1958.

#1 -#2 -#3 -#4 are all from the series issued in 1958.

#6 & #7 (the surcharged ones) are from 1956. Stamp originally issued in 1954 (the 1k w/flag & crescent) & then surcharged in 1956.

Rod's already answered the air defense one. Pages 12-13 in the large turkey thread also talk about these. Some more pix if you're interested:

Forgot to add:

#6 & #7 are in Scott - RA187A & RA187B...

Thanks Rod and mdroth
RA187A and RA187B are in fact in Scott, 1956 - thanks mdroth..

Here are stamps from my collection .

The 1955 Dark brown 3K shouldn't be there it is the same as the 1958 issue .Need my morning coffee before posting .

I agree. Small children should not be drinking hot coffee, especially while kissing...

floortrader,
surprised to see a nice collection of postal tax,
do we have a closet Turkey collector here?

Nice to see the coarse paper variety, don't recall that one.

ROD ----I have a worldwide collection .
