I found this rather ragged label in amongst some Italian stamps I was sorting. I'm guessing it is from Albania and the face on the subject looks about as sorry looking as the stamp itself. In fact it could qualify for the "saddest face" thread. I've never seen one of these and would appreciate any information about it

Albanian for sure :D

Looks like a charity label, rather than a bogus issue, but I have never seen this one before.

Yes, I was guessing it might be depicting refugees, perhaps from when Italy invaded. All pure conjecture, of course.

That's great, Chris. The only difference is the value. That one is sold with another listed BIN 4.99. Private listing though. This is from the listing.

1927 ISSUE REVENUE STAMP USED 20 QINDAR (M.CASO 8022)

I wouldn't have picked it as a revenue. It looks too amateurish to be an official issue.

Ahoj there!

The Albanian says Albanian Red Cross.

The period looks WW1 in my opinion.

Cheers,

Thanks Honza. She looks like a red cross nurse and he has a stick and his arm in a sling. That sounds more like a fund raising cinderella than a revenue. Is M.Caso 8022 some sort of catalogue number?

Caso (Greek : Kasos) is an Aegean island. The area seems to have had a very complicated history.

I'm slowly getting somewhere! :)

Ahoj Chris!

There are a lot of Albanian revenues for sale on Delcampe and eBay with M.Caso and a different number after them, so although I am not familiar with it, I suspect it is probably a catalogue of fiscals of the area.

Perhaps one of our Italian members has heard of it.

Cheers,

Honza
