In 1955 and 1957 seven Arab
countries celebrated the establishment of the Arab Postal Union in
1953 with an issue of stamps showing a map of the Mideast. On
the stamps issued by Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Saudi
Arabia the Persian Gulf
is missing.
Whenever I have seen this
error mentioned, the stamps from Lebanon are also identified as having
the same error. An examination of the Lebanese stamps shows that the
Persian Gulf is shown on them.
