I have tried every source I know of and have access to. Could someone please save me any further brain trauma and help me identify this stamp? All I know about it is that I believe that it is 1880 to 1900 in issue; and Eastern European, I think, in origin. I think that it is showing the same letters on the bottom used by Bulgaria and the Russian block countries. Could any one help or direct me to the resources that I may make a correct identification?
Thanks in advance y'all. Image Not Found

1920 Thrace.

1910 Stamps of Bulgaria overprinted 'Thrace Interalliee'.

Thrace was an area of Greece to the North of the Aegean Sea. Now uses Greek stamps.

Thanks guys; I really appreciate your help in identifying this stamp. I have more than a few from Thrace, but I had never seen one with the overprint like that. When I encounter similar types, I know what to look for now.
Thanks again.

Is the image supposed to be Vlad the Impaler ?

No. It is of Tsar Ferdinand. Vlad was from Romania.
