The reference numbers used in the Iraq section are from Ross and Powell 2002 "Revenues of Iraq" catalogue. Revenue stamps issued in Kurdish Iraq since 2001 are also listed separately under 'Kurdistan'. Descriptions and catalogue numbers are taken from current specialised catalogues and references used are as follows. RP = Ross & Powell "Revenue Stamps of Iraq - 2002" Mc = McDonald William T. "Revenues of Ottoman Empire & Republic of Turkey - 2nd Edition" Dus = Duston Donald L. "French Colonies Revenues 2nd edition 2000" RJT = R.J. Thoden "Catalogue of the Fiscal Stamps of Saudi Arabia 1916-2001" JB = J.Barefoot 'British Commonwealth Revenues" 2002 Edition. |
Remember - RP cat values are in US Dollars for USED stamps. During the past 2 to 3 years prices for early Iraq issues - both postage and revenues - have climbed steeply and continue to do so. |
