Hi Russ,
It's an early Romanian stamp from 1862/64.
I don't think this one is genuine, though it's a nice looking stamp.
According to a guide I have, the eagle and bull's head should touch (and that's the case with the image in the SG catalogue).
Romania Scott 11 (orange, laid paper) or 15 (orange-yellow, wove paper) - hand pressed individually, or possibly 19 (yellow, wove paper) typographed.
It may be listed under Moldavia-Walachia
This thread shows these commonly forged stamps

Yes, I see it under Romania
Now the fun begins
Thanks 51Studebaker51, I will conduct my research on that thread
Russ
in an envelope marked elobey, annobon and corisco, but not seeing it in scott
must have been an old envelope
the scan is 1200dpi so a better one probably will not help
Any ideas?
