SURPRISE, it's another one of those wonderful Mystery Stamp Quiz.
Newcomers might say "What is a MSQ?", so let me tell you!
I will be periodically showing clues of an actual used stamp, and you try to guess the country and catalog number of that stamp before anyone else.
The prize will be the stamp it's self, plus three others that attached to the same piece of envelope.
The only rule is, you have to be first to correctly identify the stamp. Put your thinking caps on and GOOD LUCK!
Mike
Oh, by the way, these clues are greatly enlarged, so not actual size. Some of us are of the older generation and need to use spectacles to be able to see things more better. LOL

Michel #282 is also wrong, no matter what catalog is used, Jansimon. (just as a hint for your diligence in selecting a country of identification, Cape Verde is not even the country. But don't tell anyone I gave you that little secret)
OK, we have two different guesses, so let's get some excitement going and make more guesses. Here is another clue to help you along in your travels: Maybe a visit to a nice restaurant would behoove you!
Good luck with that!

Oh boy, well we're into some kind of Christian Saint with a halo, ummmm Christ, the loaves and fishes, just can't recognize the stamp. Darn - we need some world wide collectors. This Ireland collector is stumped and all out of SWAGs!!!

"Just one more small collection, hun, really! LoL "
Come, come, now. Don't blame it on your lack of collecting interests, since we had a young lady actually guess one MSQ on the first guess and to boot, she didn't even collect that countries stamps.
Now, let's analyze your latest input:
Christian Saint, with a halo - Bingo (but you probably need to know the stamp)
Christ - not quite, but could be close by.
loaves and fishes - these could be associated with an earlier hint.
Darn - not in this stamp.
Clue: - yes you earned another picture!

Twelve hours without a guess, what a mess. So, no one got choked up on that last clue, so sorry! All right, this could be the key to your solving this MSQ:

Seriously Jill, how DO you figure these out? You are the QUEEN of MSQ. I'm absolutely baffled. I already knew you would be the one to figure it out. Have you memorised the entire Scotts?

Thanks for your kind accolades
When I checked this morning, I was expecting Philatelia to have nailed it.
Thanks Mike for putting up another of your MSQs, and entertaining us with those wonderful clues.
Sorry Kelly, I can't give away any of my secrets. I have to say that I have only ever seen the cover of a Scott catalogue but not what's inside. However I have had a long-standing affair with a Mr Stanley Gibbons, and am blessed with a good memory.

Jill - your affair has definitely worked to your advantage - congrats. I bow to the Queen of the MSQ.
