If you are wondering why there is a star of David on the stam, the old Moroccan flag featured a star of David and Morocco pre-WWII had a large jewish population. As the divide between muslims and jews heated up in the latter half of the 20th century, the star on the Moroccan flag lost a point.

It says "servicio" and "Marruecos" so my guess is that it is some kind of official stamp from Spanish Morocco.

Hi,
This is a stamp from one of the Moroccan local postal services from around 1895.
I believe this one is from the Tangier-Asilah service and is one from a set of eight values with the same design.

That was a good call. Here is something I found on the internet using "Tangier-Asilah":
Also a regular Spanish Moroccan stamp showing the six pointed star.

Thanks for your inputs. Its appreciated.
Jansimon, I also saw that set of five on the internet. It was very interesting to learn
about the Jews In Morocco and how they came to be there and in a large number.
One of the best things about stamp collecting is it's a catalyst for learning.

Any information about this stamp would be helpful. I can't find it in the
Scott catalog, and very little on the Internet.
