re: Iran / Persia provisionals?A.

These are all regular issues from around 1900 to 1910.

HOWEVER!! Almost all of the examples on the market of stamps from Iran from 1870 to 1925 are forgeries. They were made in the early 20th Century for the stamp packet trade to be sold to collectors. One must always presume that any such stamps in their collection are forgeries until proven otherwise.

re: Iran / Persia provisionals?A.

Thanks to all for their posts......I was hoping that they would be relatively simple but it sounds as if they will need to go back into the " to be sorted at some point " pile which seems to be getting bigger every day....not that I am complaining as I am coming towards what most consider to be retirement age over here in the UK and " might " have more time.Happy

Best wishes,

Brian......... off back to sort even more machins!

I'd rather sort the Iranian stamps than Machins!
