1907 Egyptian official document with First Issue 1m and 2m revenue stamps tied by bilingual cancels

Egypt 1907 - First Issue Revenues 1 & 2 Milliemes Tied on Official Document

Affixed at the upper left are two examples of Egypt’s First-Issue adhesive revenues: one 1 millieme (UNE PIASTRE) and one 2 milliemes (DEUX PIASTRES), printed in green with the large central oval framing the Khedivial tughra and the GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT bilingual banner. Both stamps remain fresh in color, retaining full perforations. Each is tied to the paper by a clear magenta manuscript cancellation across the top ("١٩٠٧"), a style used only during the earliest months of adhesive fiscal use. The cancellation touches the design but preserves all internal details of the frame and value tablets.

1927 Italian consular diplomatic document issued in Cairo with multiple tied Italian revenue stamps

Egypt 1927 - Italian Notarial & Consular Legalization Dossier

Page two carries the full formal notarial preamble beneath the printed seal of the Kingdom of Italy-a seated allegorical Italia figure within an octagonal frame, emblematic of Italian state authority in the liberal-monarchical era of Vittorio Emanuele III. The repertory number, dated introduction, and invocation formula reflect standard Italian notarial structure of the period, referencing the reigning sovereign, the national legal order, and the delegated power of the notary. The transcript includes detailed identification of the declarants, their professions, residence, civil status, and testimony. The calligraphy is precise and evenly spaced, showing the hallmarks of an original notarial transcription rather than a later clerical duplicate.
