I'm not seeing this one in my book?

the image looks like Turkey, paras are Turkish right?

I don't know what "poste locale" is I assume locale (in-country postage?) but why in English then, was Turkey owned by someone at some point that made stamps for them?

I'm missing something simple...

[edit: By the way, not listed in Scott, so you weren't missing it. Forgeries exist.]

There appears to be an image (of at least the oblong stamps) in the Yvert World Catalogue. (Not seen it myself)

Isfila also. Both the perforated & imperforated versions, as on Rod's page.

Unused are low value; used very high value. Most cancellations are faked; used stamps really need a cert...
