After the first Gulf war, the north of Iraq was out of Iraqi government control and there was a kind of* state in the north where the Kurds live (Kurdistan) and they used to have their own government and their own money and also their own stamps. Anyway with the fall of the Saddam regime […]
Similar to the Macedonian army artistamps features before, here is a set commemorating the Georgian Army involvement in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Here are two sets of stamps commemorating the Iraqi provinces of Salahaddin and Basra. Notice the value on the Salahaddin stamps in Arabic is actually reversed, an error!! :DÂ

This ridiculous attempt at fooling people into thinking this is a genuine error has to be the most outragious I have seen so far on eBay. Judge for yourself. The World Cup 2002 MS, one has only the world cup and the other has the world cup missing, how convienient !!
