re: Annoying smily face/other strange markings screwing up stamps on selvage of Turkey #597, # 255, & #590.

After 1923, (Western calender), with the founding of the Turkish Republic, Stamps such as the Ottoman's 40pa showing
the Mosque in Adrianople would not have been valid, so I'd forget about a valid usage in 1931.
The set was issued in October 1913, so a November usage could be likely.
Much earlier, the Ottomans would have used the Arabic Calender which required a correction of 584 years and some odd days
to compare it with the Western Calender.
As for the Arabic numbers that Ralph noted, more research would be needed to figure out what they imply.

Adding 584 years to the 29 in Arabic figures should make it end on 13, so 1913 seems right to me Nerd
