| 説明 | This postage stamp (= Michel Catalog # 1187) was issued in 1972 by Sharjah, a country / emirate / sheikdom / Trucial State / confederation in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. In modern times, Sharjah is part of the "U.A.E." = the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah formerly issued its own postage stamps. The stamps were created specifically to be sold to non-domestic stamp collectors to raise money ("revenue"). They were not even printed in the areas that bear their names. As such, they are not really postage stamps - they were not sold from Sharjah post offices and not used on their mail. Many depict subjects or topics completely non-related to the home country. Serious stamp collectors collectively call these non-stamps "Dunes" or "Trucials" and consider them worthless. There's reportedly been renewed interest in Trucial stamps in recent years.This is part of a set of air mail stamps depicting birds. The stamp has cancellations, but it was not used on mail. Such fake cancellations are referred to as "CTO" - cancelled-to-order. |
