      Well, we would say "a British stamp" or "A German stamp" so I guess nationality is the word to describe that. Nonetheless, "What nationality stamps" sounds very unnatural. I think that we would probably rather say "WHat countries have you got stamps from?"

       

      Hope that helps!

      Maybe it has no use for replying late. But I definitely know the correct answer:Which national stamps do you have?
