Here is a link to my last ebay win and I wonder if anyone knows anything about the counterstamp.

It arrived in the mail today and it is in my opinion a REAL stamp on a real host worn in well and deeply patinated. Thanks to DCH for the link identifying what this was.

Actually I didn't know which country it was from but I did recognize it as a monetary fraction from the era before the numerator was expressed as a 1. That I did recognize as an English abbreviation. The font of the 2 looked old as well so I took a flyer.
