Türkiye - Levant Ottoman Empire Heritage - Syr Kingdom...

This is an extraordinary 1920 historic land deed (Tapu document) issued during the short-lived Syrian Arab Kingdom era in the State of Damascus, specifically from Douma District (قضاء دوما) on July 8, 1920. The document features a unique combination of historical revenue stamps: - Hejaz Railway Aid Stamps (1 Piastre Pair): Printed directly on original Ottoman match tax banderol stamps (Kibrit Bandrolu / كبريت باندروليدر - بش باره) originally produced in the late 1800s by the Bandrol Idaresi. Later reused for the Hejaz Railway Aid Tax, this issue represents one of the earliest Syrian emissions on distinctly textured fiscal paper. Both stamps are tied to the document with the official cancellation stamp of Douma District (قضاء دوما). - Ottoman Public Debt Revenue (A.D.P.O. Overprint): Features the 20 Para Ottoman fiscal stamp with the distinctive red "A.D.P.O." overprint (Administration de la Dette Publique Ottomane) and additional local overprints. The document is completely intact with original official seals, manuscript entries, and tax calculations. The physical condition, clarity of the seals, and overprints are fully visible in the high-resolution photographs provided. Please examine the images carefully as they form the primary basis for the precise evaluation of this historic document. Shipping Notice: Due to the large physical dimensions of this historical sheet, it will be gently and carefully folded once along its original fold line for safe packaging and shipping.
