Ottoman Empire Revenues Stamps (Bisects ?)

Any information is welcome !

Hi manosp,

These are all the left or right halves of sales tax stamps.

This stamps with the shading behind the value are from 1924.

The other with a clear background to the value are from 1925-26.

The first column consists of:

- 10 piastres olive (left)

- 2 piastres blue (left)

- 1 piastre blue (left) x 2

The second column:

- 20 piastres olive (left)

- 50 piastres olive (right)

- 1 lira purple (right) 1926

The third column:

- 1 lira purple (left) 1925 or 1926

- 2 piastres blue (left)

- 20 piastres olive (right)

These right half stamps are overprinted "reserved for purchaser" in Turkish.

The first issue in each design appeared without this overprint.

I guess the right half was attached to a receipt and the left half was retained by the seller.

Thanks for your informations Nigelc !

You're welcome manosp.

I've corrected the above post to read "1 lira" instead of "1 piastre" for the two stamps from 1925/26.
