Default Egypt~ the tricky blighters.

Most countries have tricky issues,
(South Africa and the wildebeeste comes to mind)
I wonder how many kids or newbies pass over these three
egyptian issues thinking they have "duplicates"?

Tintin fans might think of Faud as Kurvitash and Farouk as not so Kurvitash

very oblique Gazza.
I was a creature of the 70's so would only relate to droopitash.
If they are all 5 mills,
what was the changing script in the RH mandrel?

At the start the left + right sides had the
denomination specified.

Later the denomination was moved to the bottom
corners and the word for POST (Postes in French
and Barid in Arabic) took their place.

The first stamps used the longer (formal) name for
the country, while the later, more simplified stamp,
just had the name EGYPT in French and Arabic
(Misr) at the top.

I will not digress on the different styles of writing
Arabic here. The later stamps use a more
simplified script, in keeping with the simpler design.

Finally it should be noted that two different kings
are portrayed on the stamps.

SG 93 / 94 stretched me rather more than these

SG 27 / 31 and 38 are still beyond me
