Having difficulty identifying this stamp. I'm not even sure it's a postal issue. Is anyone familiar with this region and come across this one before?

Thank you. I couldn't find it in Scott 1840 - 1940. That explains why.

Aha!
Just spotted the RED (or LILAC?) underprint, in the top section, betwixt the perforation and the design frame.........

Underprint can be Brown, Red , Lilac, or Grey.

Thanks again. Still working on building a reference library. Spinks is delivering a couple of catalogs today on stamps of France. Shipping cost me more than the catalogs did.
