Stampfinder C01

Use the buttons below and select the first character in your inscription or overprint.

German fraktur
Fraktur is a traditional script used in German-speaking countries but is written in various styles. Note that what looks like a lower case "f" is an "s", so that perhaps you can work out the inscription or overprint from that. Otherwise:



Greek

 * Greek and Cyrillic have common characters, so check the stamp in question for any other clues. Otherwise, just make a first guess; fortuna favet fortibus.
 * Search for what's on the overprint or surcharge first.





Cyrillic

 * Greek and Cyrillic have common characters, so check the stamp in question for any other clues. Otherwise, just make a first guess; fortuna favet fortibus.
 * Search for what's on the overprint or surcharge first.
 * Ignore the words ПОУТА ("post/mail"), РЕСПУБЛИКА and РЕПУБЛИКА ("republic") in your search.
