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?)
re: Turkey help... Overprint not matching anything in Scott
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.

"The Scott semi-postal section for Turkey is poorly laid-out & confusing"
That's an understatement I figured it was a semi-postal, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what goes where in that section. (Of course, Volume 6 is the one volume in my file where the countries go from
T .... U... Back to some T's.... then more u's...
It was almost like someone at Scott said ... "aww f'it.. let's just put these countries in here, nobody will get this far!"
