[Iraq varieties & errors]

Exact dates of issue of 1990's issues are sometimes difficult to ascertain. Issue dates shown below are from Scott & Michel to 1997, and the dates of issue for 1998 & 1999 are official dates as supplied by Iraq Telecomms. & Posts Stamp Section. Later dates shown are as given by Baghdad stamp dealers who were 'on the spot' when the stamps hit the PO counters. Beware forgeries of overprints which were used on mail during this period. At least one expert forger in Baghdad was at work during these years, but even surcharges just typed on to the stamps with a typewriter are known to have passed through the mails!
Please note that many issues were of poor print quality and/or badly centered. When ordering, you will be sent the best available from stock. Some issues, especially miniature sheets, have distinct colour differences and some are printed with uneven borders e.g. off center. Stamps and miniature sheets will not be exchanged on the grounds of poor print quality, colour variation, poor centering, or any other production faults. There are known forgeries of some issues and this will be noted in the list.
Known forgeries will be sold as forgeries and will have the word "forgery" written in ink on the gum side. All items were bought from reputable Iraqi dealers with whom
I traded for many years and who advised me about forged and bogus stamps and covers.
A PayPal shopping cart will be available on this page soon.
For the time being please please order by emailing your requirements.
