2 Dirham stamp - Camel riders delivering mail moving to today's trucks. But in Qatar the main form of desert transport has been the horse.
3 Dirham stamp - this is clearly not correct, until now, no train service includes Qatar. I would still appreciate if someone could let me know what are the trains on this stamp.
10 Dirham stamp - P & O ships. These did not have a regular service to Qatar and so were a little hard to track, the lower ship thanks to the American Philatelist and an Indian Post postcard I was able to identify, while the upper ship appears to be the P&O Iberia but probably did not sail through Qatar.
75 Dirham stamp - clearly identifies the old manual mail sorting to todays automated version.
1 Riyal 25 Dirham stamp - from the old scribe involved in reading and writing letters for others to todays standard postal service centres.

sorry - just reposting my note in case you didn't see it.
ReplyDeletehello. antonio. My name is Khalid im very intrigued by the posts you enter. I went to the stamps youth center in Doha on DEC-15-2021. it was my third time in my life, while I love the pictures and the stories that stamp explain, I was baffled I did not find any type of wiki or book on each stamp and its history, it's lovely to see such a blog here as the members mentioned your name. my name is khalid al-salat. While i'm just a regular person who went to the center that day, I would love to support you publishing a book on these stamps. I may not be able to help, but I'm very intrigued and willing to help in any shape or form.
