Stamp identification help please
Hi all,
I am (finally!) finishing identification of my entire collection, about 14,000 stamps in all. But I have a handful that I just can't figure out. I would very much appreciate any help you might be able to give in identifying these stamps.
Many thanks,
William Bell
#1 - possibly Turkey, based on red crescent, but no star with it
#2 - Russia semi-postal?
#3 - Russia semi-postal?
#4 - Russia semi-postal?
#5 - Japan, but is it a postage stamp or something else?
#6 - ???
#7 - ???
#8 - Arabic inscription, appears to be a revenue stamp?
#9 - China; cannot find this overprint in Scott catalog
#10 - China, but can't find stamp without overprint in catalog
#11 - China; cannot find this overprint in Scott catalog
#12 - China?
#13 - China?
#14 - Austria?
