1922, "THE HASHEMITE ARAB GOVERNMENT RAILWAY TAX ISSUES OF HEJAZ" A set of eleven revenues, 1 Qr. to 5.000 Qr. were provided to levy as a tax required for various types of documents.
The purpose was "Special for the Benefit of the Railway”. Again, the implication to facilitate the transport of Pilgrims to the Holy City. During the war T.E. Lawrence and the Arab forces laid waste to much of the track to prevent the transport of turkish troops and supplies to the Hejaz. To the Moslem faithful, the tax was for a good cause and raised no objections. In reality, none of the funds were earmarked to repair the line. Including a strip of three showing type II "Train position 12 open shaft", a fine and very scarce group
Value Add Taxes (19%) will be added to the hammer price and the buyers premium.
