The stamp is the government seal of mehrab and munbar (kinda like the alter area of a mosque) it is 69 years old. Made in the Jangalak factory in Kabul during the reign of Zaher Shah. I saw in the link a refference to Mazar e sharif, there was not arsenal or military factory in Mazar e sharif, just the Jangalak factory, localy knon as Kaar Khaana e Jangalak, کار خانه جنگلک you'd also see that in some Marini Henries. hope it sheds some light.
