Iraqi Revenue stamp in Postal use

This is 10 fils revenue stamp of King Feisal II (photo of King as 6 or about 7 years age ), the stamp was issued in year 1942 for Fiscal use at that time, but here seen differently used because it is with postal cancellation. May be used through Iraqi V.I court correspondences inside or through correspondences of Foreign Consular Offices inside Iraq or may be used for some diplomatic Telegraph papers. Known by stamps collectors Iraq issued Obligatory stamps for dual use as postage or fiscal, among these stamps the early postage stamps of Views 1923, Mosul I.E.F.D.,Save Palestine and Civil Defense. Anyway its so nice found.
