Mint Hinged example of the 1917 "2 Ana" and "Baghdad" overprinted on Turkish 1pi stamp, issued during the WWI transition from Turkish to British control, for this short-lived entity. This is the violet and black issue, with perforation 12-1/2. Nicely centered and a bit heavily hinged on back, with a bit of minor perforation damage in the lower right corner. A key Middle Eastern stamp. 2024 Scott US$650.00 =
