I know I've posted this stamp before but it is hilarious. It is so messy.
It came out in 1920 Syria. Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire till the end of 1918 when it (the Empire) collapsed.
In short the original overprinted text reads O.M.F, which stands for Occupied Enemy Territories in French which sounds super dark and funny....
... Its a bit like taking over the US and renaming them as "Land That Now Belongs To The Good Guys"
