this stamp I have looked for but have no clues where to look now, I have searched for Arabic, Farsi stamp and Asian stamps.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

this image was taken from a stamp album which was only black and white.

Thank you all once again, spot on with identification. the next question is where could I buy a stamp with that over print?
I have searched on the internet Afghanistan stamp 1923/ Afghan stamp 1923 with and without overprint, nothing showing. Once again thank you kindly for you response.

That hand stamp was placed on the back of other postage stamps. There are two different hand stamps like that in 1923. Some album maker would list that as two different stamps one being the front of the stamp and the second as the reverse .

Hi stampy2020,
Could we ask that you use the "Reply to Topic" link below instead of editing a response below your original post?

You will need to keep checking the stamp auction houses such as Cherrystone auctions and Raritan auctions that cover this type of material. Unfortunately both companies do not have Afghanistan in their next auctions. But keep searching all the major auction venues.

Sorry ,but I don't think you will find that stamp at a major auction house . Maybe as part of a set which catalogs at $250.00 but not one stamp at $125.00 catalog . Auction houses named above rareley list something this low . You are more likely to find it in a country collection lot .
