Egyptian Confusion - Cover, Revenues And The Uar

Several questions here if someone can help?
1. Stampless Censored Cover dated 1941. Assuming WWII cover to military personnel stationed in Egypt. Any additional points or clarifications?
2. Revenue stamps- unidentifed. Assist?
3. UAR stamps listed as Egyptian- why? Exampl - Scotts 512 SS.
I do not hinge that which isn't already hinged. I have a million dollar taste in stamps on a Pauper's budget so hinges are necessary. Just trying to avoid the inevitable degradation of the conversation. Thanks in advance for the help on these!

M is for "milliemes" (mills) on UAR egyptian stamps
P is for "piastres" on UAR syrian stamps.


Your "salt" revenue is in Forbin catalog

The cover is from military personnel to (probably) his/her bank in Alexandria, rather than to other military personnel.

Nothing wrong with hinges!

Thank you!!! That's very helpful. I have a limited penetration with the few catalogs I have so I usually just search and search until I find the stamp in question on the internet.. or post it here. :)

I should like more catalogs but I stay in hot water over my stamp budget as it is!

A bank- not someone with the last name "bank." Feeling silly now.

The one thing I've learned in my years collecting stamps is that I dont know jack about stamps. Thanksagain!

General revenue stamps. Circa 1939 - 1949.

Believe this was a ten-stamp series. Seven in the size you posted. Single color each. Three high value Issues. Multi-color.

Fairly common issues. Have also seen less common imperforate. (Proofs?).

If you think that is silly, his first name is "Barclays".
