The Sultan

New Entries

As You already know, Turkey Philately is one of my favorites..these stamps belong to a lot I have bought 2 Years ago, knowing nothing about Ottoman Philately or history of Turkey..it was just a small stockcard full with beautiful and ancient stamps , at a very reasonable price..Now that I know a little more , after have classified some of them, I could say that economically it was a good deal, but it was Excellent in almost all other aspects..  

Stamps from 1892 overprinted in Red or Black in 1915.
The Crescent and the Star are present in many sets from Ottoman and Turkey Philately..It's significance is rooted deep in History... 
Perf: 13.5

this is a beautiful stamp , from a set of 1914  full with other beautiful stamps... It is a set that is called  London Series (all the work done by Bradbury Wilkinson, London ) ... it represents the Cruiser Hamidie.. this stamp and the last one of the set ( representing the Sultan..) are exceptions , because all the other 15 stamps are just sights and views of Turkey...(I am here in front of another "must have" situation!!..)
