Item Description

1926 Turkish Legal Document with 5 Kuruş Turkish Aviation Society Air Post Tax Stamps Pair Used Cancelled.

This official legal document, dated circa 1926, originates from the early years of the Republic of Turkey. Written in Ottoman Turkish script, it records the appointment and oath of office of Ashraf bin Abdulsettar Bey, who accepts a judicial position in the town of İnce Mehriye. The text includes formal declarations of duty, allegiance, and legal responsibility, reflecting the transitional period of Turkish legal administration following the establishment of the Republic in 1923. Affixed at the top are two Turkish Air Post Tax Stamps issued by the Turkish Aviation Society (Türk Tayyare Cemiyeti). These stamps were part of a series released in 1926 to fund the development of aviation in Turkey. Each stamp features a biplane and the emblem of the Turkish Aviation Society. The stamps are canceled with a circular purple handstamp, indicating their official use on legal documents. The presence of these stamps signifies the mandatory use of Air Post Tax Stamps on official documents during this period, highlighting the government's efforts to promote aviation through public funding mechanisms. The document is well-preserved, with clear script and intact stamps, offering valuable insight into the legal and philatelic practices of early Republican Turkey. Some Visible Text (Rewritten in Sentence Form): Ashraf, son of Tafra-zade Abdulsettar Bey, residing in İnce Mehriye, has been appointed by the government as an official in the judicial department. He swears by God Almighty to fulfill his duties without objection and accepts the responsibilities of his position, declaring his commitment to uphold justice and legal obligations. Chat GPT
