I CAME ACROSS THIS STAMP - BUT I CAN NOT IDENTIFY IT - WITH THE POSTAL CANCELLATION I THINK IT MIGHT BE GERMAN.
IT UNPERFORAMTED - HAS NO VALUE LISTED AND NO LETTERING - THE POSTAL MARK APPEARS TO BE THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY ITS ORIGINS.
ANY INFORMATION WILL BE HELPFUL
THANKS

It is Austrian - a head of Mercury imperforate stamp from 1867.
It is one of the stamps discussed here :

Thanks so much for your research and reply - it is indeed the stamp you mention - and including the link to a discussion of the stamp is extremely helpful.
I greatly appreciate it/

Thanks Valentino97 - I did remember to thank Kevin - but in my excitement to research the stamp's value - I forgot to mark the mystery solved - which it definitely was.
So thanks your reminder is much appreciated
