I will be adding difficult stamps to id (for me anyway), and I urge you to do the same.
I will post the answer later (if I know it).
Starting with 2 stamps...and I don't know the answer, plus one from Transjordan that I cannot identify the o/p....
So post your answers:

The Jordan stamp is probably part of the 1943 set. I don't have a Scott catalogue for the 'T' countries.

That's a very nice stamp indeed rrr!
It's a Turkish Hejaz Railway revenue from 1912.
I've not seen it before except as a black and white illustration in the catalogue.

The color on the top is different from the rest of the stamp. That could be a stain.

Naaahhh photograph lighting. But if you look closely, color is one thing I noticed: The o/p has two different color, purple and black...but that is not it! Plus, can you identify the stamp?

As of now, I am unable to see what is strange about it. Anyway, the stamp type is 1917 Turkey semi-postal (Scott B46). However, as of now, I have no information on the overprint (the top overprint is a bit hard to read, but trying!)

while the base stamp is indeed a Turkey semi postal B46, it is however incorrect...Turkey stamps were used everywhere in the Ottoman empire territories. This one has a unique story that goes with it as well.
As for the "mystery" strange thing I noted, it is quite something!

Still puzzled?
Well, here is an additional photo of two stamps, the one on the Right is the one that has the "strange thing", while the other one is the normal stamp. Need I say more?
Still, with all the expertise we have here, does anyone have an idea for the country, let alone the catalog number or year?

Hi rrr,
The new puzzle stamp is Syria (Arab Kingdom) SG K73 but with an inverted 4m surcharge.
Very nice.

Well done Nigel!
For those using Scott, it is Syrian Arabian Government(SAG) Scott #16.
Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, and after the British Military Occupation, France and England partitioned the area and France controlled the Syria/Lebanon/Alaouites/Alexandretta/Latakia/Hatai/Rouad region. The Syrian territories were initially set as an Arab Kingdom from 1918 to 1920. King Faisal (Also the king of Irak) was deposed in Syria in July 1920. French military Occupation followed, until the territories were mandated to France in 1922.
The Syrian Arabian Government used Turkish stamps with the special overprint from 1918 to 1920....and many stamps were also surcharged with new values. Since most were hand-stamped, errors are fairly common. However the stamps of the SAG are really difficult to find, and generally fetch a fairly good price.

Agree with Jansimon. The bottom (lower horizontal) overprint appears to be different from the example presented in the Scott catalogue.

This was not an easy one!
Here are Egypt #1 to #3. You can see that my challenge stamp is the 5 para (#1) but the overprint (check the bottom part) is normally found on the #3, the 20 para stamp.
A major error? Unfortunately I don't think so. A crude counterfeit stamp trying to masquerade as a rare error.
