Title
MAGAN STAMPS: ARABIAN PHILATELISTS
Description
The postal history has been as fascinating as the political history. Probably the first organised posts were established in those distant times by Cyrus the Great who built post-houses along his roads, each post-house being a day's ride on a horse. The first Pony Express! Recent happenings in the area have their own philatelic stories. Purchases of modern stamps from Iran, and until recently Iraq, banned in the USA as trade sanctions were imposed on these states. Stamps issued by the Palestinian Authority, although not recognised by the UPU, have been in use since 1994 on both internal and external mail. Local stamp issues were printed and used in Iraqi Kurdistan prior to the deposing of Saddam Hussein, as were a few in Iranian Kurdistan in the early 1920's. The area is rich in modern philatelic interest.
When possible we give details of unusual stories about issues as they happen, such as the problems faced when printing the first Iraqi issue after the 2003 invasion and the reasons for the appearance of varieties. If not recorded somewhere then such stories will be lost.
