I hope you don't mind my pointing out that you have mixed your mils and fils on the postal tax stamps page.
They are 2 separate issues. In 1947 the currency used was 1000 mils = 1 Palestinian pound.
The currency was changed in July 1950 to 1000 fils = 1 Jordanian dinar, so 5 of the original stamps were issued in 1951 using fils.
This is also why the postage due stamps from 1929 were overprinted FILS in 1952.

I shall re mount accordingly. |

The below stamp (image 1) was obviously issued by Jordan but what is it? I know it is not Scott listed so my next thought is that it is a fiscal of some type. I went to eBay and came across the second image you will see below which has two stamps of similar/same design but different colors/denominations and they are listed as Consular Fees Fiscal / Revenue Stamps. Would you all concur? Image 1  Image 2  |

Thank you for your help rod222 . Thank you for posting !  I have for years, not been able to ID Jordon Revs Until I found this recent site, (your quote on "consular Officials" helped) I still wasn't sure the ID was correct. Surprised that "The Revenue Reverend" does not list Jordan, my usual "go to" for the Middle East. |

Hi Darrin, absolutely no idea, first time for me to encounter this catalogue reference. I do know he/they ? produced a catalogue for Syria revenues in 2000 As you, I would welcome any information on this catalogue. |
