The 5 letters at the bottom indicate it is from Greece.

The stamp is Scott #339, issued in 1928 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the naval Battle of Navarino. It is part of a set of 6.

My scanner is still not functional (OK OK, I also admit I am too lazy to go pull out my album)...

Pilfered from the Scott catalog (Greece #338-343)



There are also 4 surcharged stamps, not shown.

Thanks. If I ever get past the organizing / scanning to see what I've got stage... 1.5gig and building... it will be fun to actually learn something about some of these.
