Exactly what additional information are you asking for?

You showed a postal cancellation with no cover or stamp. The name of the post office was provided by an immediate post by peterh.

He reported the name of the post office as "El-Malek El-Saleh", which is in Cairo Egypt. It appears that the postmark date is 22 Feb 87, which is probably 1987, but without more information about the cover, that's only a guess. The time of the cancellation was between 4 and 5 pm. This is a hand-stamp device, not a machine, so the clerk has to change the time each hour.

If you want additional information about the cover and how the marking was used, you will have to provide a scan of both sides of the envelope. Then state clearly what additional information you want.

Where have you spent days searching? On-line, your library, encyclopedia, stamp catalogs? Someone on the forum can probably help, but you should be more specific about the information you seek.

Thank you for that information. Unfortunately I have only the hand stamp on the torn off corner of the envelope with no other information. I also appreciate your advice about how better to ask for help.
I spend hours searching on the internet but often can't find the information I'm looking for. Like I stated, this is all very new to me. Thanks again for your reply and will be sure to incorporate your suggestions in my future explorations.
