Item Description

I am not an expert in Iraq stamps so this was a confusing stamp for me to figure out. The best that I have been able to figure is that this is "not" a postal stamp but a revenue stamp with a postal cancellation.

From the web, "SAVE PALESTINE STAMPS ARE NORMAL IRAQI REVENUE STAMPS OVERPRINTED WITH ARABIC WORDS ' INQATH FILISTEEN' , ISSUED EARLY IN YEAR OF 1948 TO AID THE ARABIC SIDE OF PALESTINIAN LAND & REFUGEES VERSUS ISRAEL OCCUPATION. "

I have seen this stamp with an RP211 catalog number but I do not know what that is.

Also included is a regular Iraq postage stamp (Iraq type A25) with King Faisal II with similar design.
