Hi airbornstamps!

A search of your stamp on ebay shows your stamp is included in ebay item# 292597054516 but it does not have the red overprint.

 

The description on the item on ebay is  "IRAQ/IRAK  1948-1954 KING FAISAL II REVENUE  USED     4181",

 

I hope this information helps you identify your item! Best Regards!

Hi again airbornestamps

 

Ebay item # 123069192236  shows your item with your red overprint with the description  "IRAQ PALESTINE AID STAMPS 1948 REVENUE AND MAIL OVERPRINTED -VARIETIES 3 STAMPS"

 

Ebay item  # 401527328190 shows your stamp with a black overprint(instead of your red overprint) with the description "IRAQ PALESTINE STAMPS 1948 REVENUE MALI ARABIC OVPT POWEL # 192, 194, 198."

 

I hope this information further helps you identify your stamp!

 

Best regards,

Randy (r342)

airbornestamps…

 

That’s a beautiful scan you posted—every tiny line of the engraving is sharp and clear.

Hi again airbornestamps!

 

Your Revenue Stamp appears to be listed in the Revenue Stamps of Iraq catalogue by Joe Ross(2002) 3rd edition.

 

According to the website:  www.stampsforfun.com/site/cat_iraq.htm  "This newly revised work by Joe Ross and John Powell will stand for many years as a definitive work of this much heard of little country."

 

You can visit the aforementioned website for further information.

 

I hope this posting continues to shed some light on you question(s).

Thanks so much for the info...I will classify it as a Revenue.  As a side note, it was a sad story to research about King Faisal.....
