Author Postings joshtanski I cannot seem to be able to find this stamp in Scott, my Linn's Stamp identifier, Google image search, etc. I originally guessed Iran as there were many other old Persian Empire stamps in the lot this was found in. Thanks for any help. AntoniusRa re: Cannot ID this stamp - Iran It definitely appears to be Iranian but it is not, at least, a Scott listed postage stamp.
mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/mapindex.html stampchi re: Cannot ID this stamp - Iran This appears to be a Persian (Iranian) revenue stamp, probably a receipt stamp, with a space for either a signature or value to be added. Barefoot catalogue may be a help.

joshtanski re: Cannot ID this stamp - Iran Thanks, everyone. It sounds like there is consensus it is of Persian origin so I can at least file under Iran.
