I know the origins of 2 of the 7 but could use the help with the other 5. Please post a comment if you know.

I present another set from my collection of stamps where it is not obvious what the country of origin is.

Stamp #6 is a 1917 semi postal from Turkey. Scott #B46. "A soldier's farewell". Interestingly I was expecting it to be Turkey because it has a tughra (a calligraphic monogram) like the Turkey stamp posted in your first set.

#2 is from the island of Crete. It had been part of Turkey, but broke away in 1898 to be semi-independent, with the support of world powers. It became part of Greece in 1913. This stamp was issued in 1900 (Scott #51)

Stamp #4 is from the Free State of Wurttemberg in Germany. The German empire was made up of states and kingdoms. Wurttemberg being one of the Kingdoms. Following World War I, King William II of Wurttemberg abdicated on Nov. 30, 1918. What followed was a republic by the name of Volksstaat Wurttemberg. The stamp shown here is an official stamp issued March 19, 1920. Wurttemberg stopped issuing their own stamps in 1923 with the exception of a 3-year period of French occupation, 1947-1949.

Stamp #5 would be a "cinderella". It is a postal label issued by Hungary which was attached to Scott 1232 promoting the Postal Ministers Conference in Berlin. The label has no postal value.

#1 is a local stamp for the Guayana region of Venezuela, issued in 1903. In the Scott catalog it says that they were issued by revolutionaries.
