 Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have tried multiple countries and multiple picture matching programs with no luck. If anyone knows what this is (may not even be a real stamp, could be a cindy) but I sure could use some help. Thanks as always - Jeff |

Looks Turkish to me. Probably a revenue issue overprinted in red, then cancelled in the black text.

Turkey was first thought
(and I believe the image may be upside down) The crescent should face up

Thanks to both of you. If it is Turkish it must be a revenue because I went through the Scott a couple of time to see if I could find it without any luck. And that makes more sense with the crescent. Hard to see anything with the overprint and the cancellation. Thanks to you both. - Jeff

Thanks as always - Jeff Jeff, the black printing indicates that it is a newspaper and advertising revenue stamp, 2 paras light blue and red, from Turkey/Ottoman Empire 1912. And yes, your picture is upside down  Daniel |

The overprint looks Armenian.

Thank you DanieL no catalog for something like that for me but at least I can put it in Turkey?? with an explanation. And Greaden, Google lens, did want to translate it in Armenian. but it did not make much sense. Thanks again everyone. I will mark it as Turkey newspaper stamp c1912. if anyone wants to add what we already listed, it would be welcome. Thanks all. - Jeff  |

The overprint looks Armenian. It could have been on an Armenian newspaper in the Ottoman Empire. The 'overprint' is newsprint. The stamp would be affixed to blank newsprint paper prior to printing. That would be quite common with newspaper stamps. Daniel |

That would make it fit even better to be part of the Ottoman Empire during that time and on Armenian newsprint. That would be a real fit for the stamp. Thanks to all again. You are all the best when it comes to courteous replies and finding answers to stumpers. - Jeff
