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 - ???

#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?
