Another Arabic Stamp I Need Help With.

Great work all,
thanks wannahocalugie and aboauf you finally cracked it.
Nigel was on the right track (as always)

One of SCF's bigger challenges.




Au contraire!
we like a challenge here at SCF
Thanks for posting

Congrats! Perfect research!!!

Here another picture from the right angle.

Nice Image, what do we call that building?

I'll still defy anyone finding another image of that stamp on the internet.
It still remains a bit of an enigma really.

That's 2 on SCF, the other the 1949 US Fire Prevention cinderella.

The OP should change the title of his post to "Iraq stamp local revenue Basra" or something like that. That way it will be easier to find months or years later.
Google already knows for members on scf that have looked Under Iraq for this stamp; the stamp in this thread will be seen in images on their screen….It is not the same for an outside person looking for this stamp in the future.

Apparently the building dates from 1930 (British mandate) post office of Basrah. Page 404

there are similar topic about these stamps I read before in some arabic stamps forum
I don't know how to explain it in English I feel stupid now,but those stamps were stamped on casino tickets as a tax or something not sure for the government ,and each related to major iraq cities like Baghdad and basra like this one

Thank you - interesting. Do you think that these date from the Faisal II period?
