The overprint is similar to semi-postal stamps, but it lacks the additional "discount" overprint (see Scott #B34). Without the discount overprint, I believe that the stamp may be a postal-fiscal stamp, not listed by the general catalogs. It may be Michel #376.
I knew you'd be able to make the call on it. I just wasn't 100% sure.
"The Scott semi-postal section for Turkey is poorly laid-out & confusing"
The Arabic numerals appear to say "1221." To what do they refer?
Hi,
It'a actually 1331, the year in the Turkish calendar, 1915.
I have brought this matter up with Scott.
Okay, I'm down to my last Turkish non-double stamp... and I'm stumped.
The pre-overprint stamp itself is Scott Cat #241....
But this overprint on this stamp... Scott doesn't list it. The overprint exists in Carmine (B19-B25). Scott says their are overprints on Thrace 10-12 and N82 and Turkey in Asia for this stamp set, but none of them match this overprint.
So what am I looking at? Anyone know a Scott, Michel, or SG # that I'm missing? (Or can I say I have a Turkey-bogus?)
